Seriously, how many people wake up saying: “Woohoo! I get to change my sheets today!”?
(Answer: Very few. ;-))
But we do it anyway because of the payoff.
The irony is that almost every small pleasure in life — and every success! — is built on a foundation of everyday habits. And a lot of those habits are (yes I’ll say it) boring.
Those habits affect
- Your health
- Your fitness level
- Your skills
- Even your relationships & retirement account!
There’s nothing sexy about the process — it’s just a matter of continually making good choices, and showing up and doing the work.
- Choosing to eat healthy foods (even when you don’t want to)
- Choosing to exercise regularly (especially when you don’t want to)
- Choosing to keep trying a new skill until we master it (even when you don’t feel like it)
The payoffs are definitely WORTH IT.
But there’s something else you need to know.
There’s another habit a lot of people develop in life: the need for instant gratification (wanting what we want, when we want it — right now).
Overcoming that habit means learning a new skill: delayed gratification.
You can learn it like you learn every other skill in life (driving, playing an instrument, cooking, writing):
You practice it… one day at a time.
So, {{first_name}}…
What’s ONE habit can you practice — starting today — that will help you move the needle toward a healthier & fitter body?
Comment below and let me know.
Make it an amazing day,
