January has come and gone... Lent is but a distant memory.

But that doesn't mean that you can't make a positive change this month. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Here are just a few reasons why July is the perfect time of year to start ticking some of those things off your bucket list. No more excuses missus. The days are longer And the weather is (usually) nicer which means you've no excuse not to get active in the evenings after work. Even if it's just a stroll around your local park or an outdoor exercise class. It's much easier to get motivated on a nice bright July afternoon than a cold wet morning in January. The pressure is off To be honest, when the end of January comes around we are already sick to the back teeth of ''New Year, new me'' Facebook status' and the never-ending fitness ads on TV. It's much easier to give up smoking halfway through the year when there's no big societal pressure to do so. You can still make 2017 your best year yet The good news is you still have five whole months to turn this year around. If you're disappointed with your progress so far or annoyed that you haven't reached your 2017 goals then pick yourself up and try again. It's not too late. When everyone else is just getting started... You'll have a cheeky head start. Imagine how great you'll feel in January when you know you're already well on your way to completing your resolution instead of starting back at square one again. You weren't ready 6 months ago Yes, you might have made your New Year's resolution in good faith but did you actually mean it? Sometimes we come up with a resolution that we aren't quite ready for just yet. After 6 months you should have had time to create a plan of action that you can actually follow. Now is the time to act.
