I learnt this lesson a number of years ago - things aren't always going to be perfect, and there is never going to be the perfect time. There will always be ‘stuff' that gets in the way; life, stress, injuries, work, kids etc. One of the great skills is learning how to remain consistent with whatever goals or habits you've created, even when things get tough. How can you remain consistent with your exercise when it's raining/stressful/around injuries? Finding ways to continue moving forward, through challenges, is a really important skill.
