Happy March!
Spring is here!
I LOVE spring! It is one of the best times of year. Colors on plants start coming through, trees and grass are extra green, people get out more and do more fun things, parks of all kinds are fantastic to go to, etc. That list can go on and on and on which again just makes me so excited!
I don’t know how many of you created New Year’s Resolutions but how are those going? I never make those because I personally think it is the quickest way to NOT meet my plans for the year. Instead I create goals. Why? Because resolving to do something versus creating a goal to achieve shifts the mindset even if it is small. When I create goals I decide what I want to accomplish this year, and then follow up with quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. I do that in part by establishing the habits I want to have in my life.
The question is what habits are you choosing to start now to finish the year by completing the goals you want? If you have already lost traction on those goals then get back on it today. You still have 10 months to reach those goals you want to this year. What is 1 goal you want for this year as a whole? What habit do you need to start today to get to that point?
Remember 1% better every day for a year is 37xs better. The more you start today to get to where you want, the better you will be in that 10 months from now. Compounding time is important for goals.
My habits I am currently working on is staying sober, reading daily, writing daily, save $1/day without spending any of that later, and now today 1 push-up, sit-up, negative. It does not matter right now that I cannot do 10 sit-ups or push-ups, or that I don’t have $1,000 in my bank account if I spend parts or all of it later because I have not put my mindset to save and to exercise every day. I can add to those numbers over time. But for today, I start with 1.
What habits do you need to start today to get to where you want to be by December 31, 2025?
