Good Habit Generator


There is not a single day that I don’t end up saying to myself, “What are you doing, Dude?” The only thing that makes me feel better is there seems to be a pandemic of that kind of thing going around these days.

In my case, I usually have decided what bad habits are getting in my way and have at least a small clue as to what good habits I should be doing every day but…

I’m the BOSS OF ME! Why would I tell myself what to do and not do it? Hmm… I’ll have to get back to you on that.

Nope. Why wait?

The truth is that I’m pretty good at doing what I say I’m going to do, as long as I do a couple of things first. If I don’t, can drift more than a rudderless sailboat.

Let’s lay some solid groundwork:

1) Everything about your life is a result of an action or inaction you take. One is productive, the other is lazy, and both are life-changing.

2) Any habit performed in a ritualistic manner will give you results. Good habits make life better. Bad habits make life worse.

3) If you want to take it the hard way, focus your attention on giving up bad habits. If you want the easy way, focus on establishing good habits.

What you need is a Good Habit Generator process - something I could spend hours telling you about, or you can do this starting today:

1) Make a list of good habits you must bring into your life. Shorter is better.

2) Decide what single good habit you will do today and do it.

3) Repeat the same habit tomorrow while also choosing another from your list to begin that day.

4) Repeat the process no matter what gets in the way.

Keep things simple, and remember that some habits happen every day while others are weekly. Some only take place once a year, and others are only required occasionally. Don’t try to do everything at the same time. Sprinkle them in slowly, as needed, and commit to making them part of your life.

Ultimately, your focus should be making so many new habits that you have no time for old and destructive habits. It takes some top-of-mind awareness, but it’s worth it. Faster than you think, if you’re committed, non-productive behaviors will fade into your distant past.

If you give it a chance, life is much easier than you think.

Talking Trash About Yourself is Good


Get the Daily Boost FIVE days a week and more at MotivationToMove.com.

I have an admission to make on your behalf. If I may -

You and everybody on the planet talks bad about themselves. Heck, some folks do it every day. If you are really good, you might fall into the category of a professional self-trash talker and even dream bad stuff about yourself. Yes, are THAT good!

I have another admission. 

I do it too. I’m good at it. Better than you. Not only that, I like it when I dig deep and bury myself in the pain of talking trash about myself. It’s like watching a horror movie about my life without the nine-dollar popcorn. 

But why is it good for you?

I work with clients who have a natural tendency to talk bad about themselves in their quest to make their lives better. It usually shows up as a reason masquerading as an excuse, which turns into a tool for them to explain their current situation to blame and link to past behavior. That’s as far most people go, good momentum stops, and bad momentum continues. 

When you link your old bad stuff with your new bad stuff, you reinforce that behavior. Most folks have done it so many times they give up and go back to their old ways.

So how do you make talking trash about yourself a good thing?

Just like we learned in grade school, stop, drop, and roll.

1) Stop and recognize what you are doing. I know. It’s hard. But you can do it! Just stop talking bad about yourself. Don’t worry. You’ll get to do more in a minute.

2) Drop in and dig deep. Now that you are stopped drop down into the landfill that you are saying your life and get ready to get messy.

3) Start rolling in the stinky muck at the bottom that you say about yourself. Take a deep breath and say -

“That’s not real. What’s the real truth? How do I deal with it? How do I climb out of this landfill before I puke?”

Feel free to leave out the puke part. 

Look, everybody feels down on themselves from time to time. That’s what life does to all of us. However, when you choose to see those moments as your inner voice screaming for your attention like a baby crying in their crib you can deal with it directly. When you do, you end up in a far better place. 

Talking trash about yourself only happens when you are not clear about where your life is heading. It’s also a clue about what you want. Are you listening?

Power of ONE Idea


 

Are you the kind of person who is searching high and low for anything that will make you happy, get you married, bring in more money, or allow you to ignore the crazy world we live in today?

If I may, it’s time that stop searching and do this -

Accept that ONE good idea, ONE good realization, or ONE good action can and will change your life instantly.

Before I continue, I'm not saying to focus on ONE thing as you'll find in Gary Keller's book. Nope. The ONE thing I'm talking about comes way before that. It has nothing to do with productivity, and it has everything to do with mindset and being specific.

You don’t have to listen to me, but I’ll give you a pat on the back if you at least consider it.

You see, everything gets easier when you develop, understand, and trust that ONE idea combined with day-to-day committed action will lead you to your dreams.

And that's not 16-hour, hair on fire, run as fast as you can, bend all the rules, shatter relationships, and get what you want at all cost days. No. It's the exact opposite.

When you buy into the mindset that ONE idea can and will change anything, you give yourself kick in the butt that launches you in a mindful and disciplined approach to find that ONE idea… or things… that you need. After that, steady plodding is all it takes.

Hmm… where did I hear before?

Another I hear came from Zig Ziglar. He said, "Most of us are walking generalities. What you need to be is a meaningful specific."

Owning a ONE idea mindset makes you and your journey meaningful. All you have to do is specifically target the actions required to get what you want every day, and the rest will take care of itself.

"A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view, a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway."

Are You Standing On The Edge of Your Dreams?


Are you standing on the edge of your dreams that haven’t become reality?

Steve Harvey is a funny man. He is also a wise man.

He says, "You must jump.

If you want to be successful, you must jump into your dreams, take a leap of faith, and go for it."

Many times we stand on the cliff of life and watch others enjoying the success you deserve.

They jumped, their parachute opened, and life is good.

You must jump.

When you finally decide to jump, your parachute will not open right away, and you will get bumped and bruised, but your parachute will open.

You must jump.

Look, let me get real.

If you want success, you must jump to your dreams so your parachute will open. If you don't jump, it will never open.

If you are standing on the edge of your dreams, the question is simple. You either you do or don't. If you do, JUMP. If not, find another edge - but make it one that makes you excited to jump.

Responding To Your Inner-Voice


The Daily Boost is available as a stand-alone podcast or included in our coaching program FIVE days a week. Get it HERE!

Responding To Your Inner-Voice

Inside all of you right now are dreams, desires, and visions of your future. If you pay attention, you can hear your inner voice nudging you in that direction. Something it’s been doing for years. 

Whether your inner voice is whispering for you to begin moving toward your dreams or stop a behavior that’s holding you back, it will never stop reminding you until you take action. That is where challenges happen.

It’s common for a person who finally listens to their inner voice to react eventually. They spring into action mode and begin moving as if it were an emergency, and they are driving the rescue vehicle 70 miles per hour to their destination. The result of reacting is almost always ending in disaster and making the problem worse.

There’s a reason they don’t call them ‘First Reactors.’

If you’ve ever observed a first responder in action, you have noticed that they are trained, equipped, follow a plan of action, and never react. They always respond in a thoughtful and calculated manner and are entirely focused on their mission and outcome.

The next time your inner voice provokes you to move, take a minute, think long-term, and respond with actions that will move toward your outcome. That’s how you build never-ending momentum.
