TNT! Someone said this to me recently as I was trying to decide when to start a new exercise program. "TNT" he said. I just stared blankly at him. "TODAY... NOT TOMORROW!"TNT has become a new motto around our house and one that I am instilling in the families I work with. Think about the decisions you are faced with everyday. The decisions you put off making. The decisions your kids put of making. And of course, the decisions you put off making for your kids. Make TNT part of your life! Say it out loud when everyone is trying to decide what to do. When the procrastination and excuses start (and we all know they will), yell out"TNT!" You'll get funny looks at first, but I promise, it'll start making a difference. Put up sticky notes or index cards with "TNT" on them around the house... keep those excuses away and your determination in the starting block.
It's funny how little things can make big changes in our lives. All of those "I'll start it tomorrows" you've said over the months...well, it's time to TNT those. Start the reading time. Try the new math worksheets the teacher sent home for summer. Start the one-on-one Mom/Dad and Kiddo time. Pick a date for that family game night you've been planning for so long. Sit down for that family meal you keep meaning to do. Take the cooking lessons. Try the karate class. JUST GO TO THE GYM :). Learn a foreign language. Start a journal.
No matter what it is... Just remember "TNT!"
