“I’m gonna get started on January 2nd”.
Yeah, I get that.
Whether you’re trying to lose weight, get stronger, get more toned, or whatever your goal is…
The next 13 days gives us a little time to get mentally prepared and have a few last blowouts.
BUT, what if you started today.
And gave yourself a head start?
Our co-founder Ryan is “stupidly” (his words:) going to train for a marathon at the end of April.
He’s never done a marathon.
He doesn’t like running.
(Hey, I told you he said it was stupid.)
But, he’s motivated from successfully completing the 8-miler we just did, so he’s going to lean into it.
Rather than wait two weeks, he’s using that motivation to start building his weekly running habits right now.
Because…
Motivation is temporary.
Just ask half of all people who quit their New Year’s resolution by the middle of January – every year.
Now, motivation can be very powerful.
For whatever reason, something lights a fire under our a$$es.
It could be a glance in the mirror after a shower.
It could be a health scare.
It could be that you’re finally fed up.
Whatever the reason, we’re suddenly gung-ho to get off the couch and moving.
And getting started is the hardest part.
That is the power of motivation.
Where motivation lets us down is that it doesn’t help us stick to it.
Enter “habit building”.
Motivation gets us moving.
Habits keep us moving.
It’s a super-powerful 1-2 punch for sustainable success.
This year, let’s not wait.
If you’re motivated right now, then stop fighting yourself and get after it.
Motivation’s shelf life is very short.
The longer you can take advantage, the better chances you’re going to have time for your new habits to stick.
Then, the wheels keep spinning.
And your success is all but guaranteed.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff
PS – Our 30-Day Resolution Revolution coaching program “officially” begins on January 2nd.
But, we’ve already opened the private Facebook group so you can ask questions and meet other golfers today.
And when you join, you get 1 year of access to the 18STRONG Membership – with it, all of our training programs.
They’re kind of a 13-day bonus that shrinks every day you wait.
So, if you’re motivated today, then don’t wait. Join us today, and we’ll get a head start on 2024.
