Today. You get one crack at it so it'd better count. Feel free to waste the day. Not a problem for anyone else but you. Just as you own your successes, you own your failures.
There is one question I ask my coaching clients: What are you doing today to make yourself better? It's a simple question. You don't need to improve by 100% every day. No one is capable of that. But making little changes every day, replacing bad habits with good ones, is really all you need.
If you're out of shape and haven't exercised in years, you can't wake up tomorrow morning and start training for an Ironman Triathlon. But you can take a walk around the block. If you eat greasy fast food three times a day, you can replace one of those meals with a salad. Maybe a bowl of oatmeal or some fruit for breakfast.
Today only happens once and while you do have another shot tomorrow, you're going to run out of todays sooner or later so why waste a single one of them?
