Inertia - Not a force but does require force to change it
Wikipedia: Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes the velocity to change.
The tendency of an object to continue in its current state (at rest or in uniform velocity) is called inertia
I got to thinking about this over the past few days of the New Year after getting my annual fix of watching The World's Strongest Man on C5 and how it not only applies to moving heavy weights from a static position but also to elements of our lives.
How many of us are 'suffering' from inertia in at least one or 2 areas of our lives? Once we have come to a halt in any area, it becomes exponentially more difficult to get moving again and some of the time we are not even consciously aware that it has happened until it is too late and our forward movement has stopped completely. It could be that we have settled too much for too long in our work. Maybe not going out as much as we used, or not seeing our friends as often as we did before.
I am definitely experiencing inertia in trying to kick-start a new career working for myself again and even though it is doing what I love and what I am good it, it is hard to start virtually from scratch, again. For the last 3 years I have done all sorts of things to help close friends and family and to pay the bills and this year it is time for me to get back to where I belong with the work I love to do, which is working with energies in people's bodies, their homes and workplaces. I will definitely be reaching out to my friends for help and support and advice because I know that is the best thing I can do to get things moving again. In my own experience it is almost impossible to do it all on your own.

The thing is, to break inertia you need to apply an external force to push or pull in order to get things moving again. What will your external force be and who will you call on to help you break your own inertia?
NOW is the time.
I would love to know what your tips are for breaking inertia.
