IT’S THE NEW YEAR, NEW CHAPTERS AHEAD OF US AND HOPEFULLY A LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL FROM COVID WILL BE COMING OVER THE HORIZON SOON ENOUGH!
LETS GET THE BALL ROLLING WITH THIS YEAR AND TAKE ON WHAT WE LEARNED FROM LAST YEAR AND DEVELOP AND PUT THAT LEARNING TO PRACTICE THIS YEAR AND CONTROL WHAT WE CAN CONTROL! THERE WILL BE GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS AND PRODUCTIVE AND LAZY DAYS; THATS PERFECTLY OK WE ARE HUMANS AFTER ALL.
BUT WHAT TACTICS CAN WE IMPLEMENT TO HELP DRIVE US ON THOSE TOUGH DAYS WHEN WE MAY NEED A WEE KICK UP THE BUM TO BET THE JOB DONE?
WE HAVE ALL HEARD OF MOTIVATION, YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS TO GET THINGS DONE AND PUSH TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE. WELL THATS TRUE TO A POINT BUT IT’S FLEETING A LOT OF THE TIME AND A BIT LIKE THE HIGH OFF OF A SUGAR BUZZ...BURNS QUICK; DOESN’T LAST AS LONG. IF OUR TASK IS SOMETHING EASY OR FUN THEN WE WILL LIKELY HAVE BAGS OF MOTIVATION TO DO IT, HOWEVER THIS WONT BE THE SAME FOR ALL OF OUR GOALS AND TASKS WE NEED TO ACHIEVE; SO DON’T PIN ALL YOUR EFFORTS ON MOTIVATION TO HELP WITH YOUR SUCCESS IN YOUR GOALS AND TRAINING. WHEN IT COMES IN HARNESS ITS POWER FOR SURE BUT FOR THE DAY TO DAY GRIND AND HUSTLE WE NEED TO BUILD IN THE HABIT OF CONSISTENCY TO GET THE JOBS DONE.
THE QUOTE “CONSISTENCY IS KEY” IS PRETTY TRUE, HAVING A CONSISTENT APPROACH TO YOUR DAY AND TASKS/GOALS IS WHERE WE CAN CHIP AWAY AT THOSE BIG GOALS AND MAKE SMALL STEPS EACH DAY TOWARDS ACHIEVING THEM. BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS AND FOR SOME OF US JUST TO GET THROUGH THE DAY.
IF WE ARE NEEDING TO CHANGE HABITS TO HELP REACH OUR DESIRES THEN BEING CONSISTENT IN THAT NEW APPROACH OR ROUTINE IS WHAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO STICK TO AND MAKE IT BECOME SECOND NATURE AND THE APPROACH! THIS TAKES SOME GRIT AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO OURSELVES TO STEP AWAY FROM THE COMFY COUCH AND NETFLIX, OR WHEN IT'S DARK JUST GET OUT OF BED WHEN THAT ALARM GOES. THIS WILL BE HARD AND SOME DAYS WON'T HAPPEN BUT BY BEING CONSISTENT IN OUR APPROACH TO OUR NEW HABITS AND GOALS WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR US IN THE LONG RUN, AND SMALL WINS ALL ADD UP!
TO HELP STAY ON TRACK HAVE YOUR GOALS WRITTEN OUT; BREAKDOWN INTO SMALLER MORE MANAGEABLE STEPS THAT TOU CAN ACHIEVE. EVEN PLAN OUT A GOAL TO WIN AT EACH MONTH. THIS WILL HELP KEEP UP MOTIVATION AND DRIVE TOWARDS OVERALL GOALS. THE NEXT TIP I WOULD SAY IS FOR DAY TO DAY GOALS AND TASKS KEEP IT A SMALL AMOUNT, SAY 5 OR 6 MAX. THAT WAY SUCCESS CAN BE WITHIN REACH EACH DAY AND NOT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE OVERLOADING YOURSELF. IT'S IMPORTANT TO ADD IN ‘YOU TIME’ IN YOUR DAILY TASKS AS WELL, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE FOR YOU.
MY FINAL TIP TO STICKING TO THE PLAN IS TO SET YOURSELF NON-NEGOTIABLES. WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT NEED TO GET DONE TO MOVE YOU FORWARD, WHAT ARE THE TASKS/ACTIVITIES THAT YOU SHOULDNT MISS OUT ON. THOSE ARE YOUR NON - NEGOTIABLES THAT YOU CANNOT FAIL ON. THIS WILL HELP YOU TAKE OWNERSHIP IN YOURSELF AND YOUR GOALS AND WHEN YOU CAN STICK TO THOSE, THEN YOU CAN STICK TO OTHERS. THE FEELING OF ACHIEVEMENT YOU RECEIVE WILL IGNITE THE FIRE TO KEEP GOING WHICH IN TURN WILL TRIGER THAT MOTIVATION SPRINKLE.
AS ALWAYS JUST TRY YOUR BEST, IF YOU CAN GO TO BED EACH NIGHT FEELING YOU HAD A SUCCESSFUL DAY AND DID YOUR BEST WITH HOW YOU FELT AND WHAT YOU HAD TO DO THEN YOU SMASHED IT!
PEACE AND LOVE
