Goals are easy when you first set ‘em.
It’s exciting! It’s the 3rd of January and the new habits are going well!
Even better, people are watching! They see what you’re doing and that feels great!
I’m really interested in what keeps us going on the 3rd of August. When the habits are boring and no one is watching any more.
This is where the real magic starts to happen, but it’s also when our enthusiasm fades (if not way sooner).
There’s a lot out there to help with this; people like Simon Sinek talk about connecting to your why. I agree, your purpose is the driving force.
One thing I’m thinking about recently is how we come to our why. We can’t think about our why and expect it to instantly move us. We have to meet it with energy.
Have you slept enough?
Have you moved?
What are you eating?
Check all your fuel inputs- then check in with the why.
Our ultimate purpose will only energise if we meet it with that same zest first.
