Did you know on average people stop doing their New Years resolution after only 26 days…?
Do you know why that is? Whats standing in the way?
Motivation is powerful, yet tricky. Sometimes it is really easy to get motivated, and you find yourself wrapped up in a whirlwind of excitement.
Other times, it is nearly impossible to figure out how to motivate yourself and you’re trapped in a spiral of procrastination.
If you want to make it easy to find motivation and get started, then it helps to automate the early stages of your behavior. Like I always say, If it’s not in your calendar it doesn’t exist!
If you don’t have a scheduled time to do a certain task every week, then you’ll find yourself saying things like, “I just need to find the willpower to do it.” or “I don’t have the time”
Just remember the 3 R’s of creating a habit.
Reminder (calendar task)
Routine ( the habit itself)
Reward ( If positive you have a desire to continue)
Ready to change or create a habit for greater success? Habit formation isn’t a quick or easy process, but once the habit is formed it takes little effort to maintain.Studies have shown it takes approximately 66 days to alter or establish habits.Put it to work with your very own challenge
Gary Keller and Jay Papasan Created the 66 day challenge. You can download it here→ https://www.the1thing.com/blog/productivity/we-dare-you-to-take-a-66-day-challenge/

Remember Discomfort is temporary
You will never regret good work once its done.
Life is a constant balance between giving into the ease of distraction or overcoming the pain of discipline.
MOTIVATION KEEPS YOU IN THE GAME, BUT HABITS KEEP YOU THERE
