What can you do today that is one small step towards achieving your ultimate goal?Create a physical reminderHave something with you that is a physical reminder of what you want to achieve and why you need to do the things you are doing.Lay out your suppliesThis is particularly useful and pertinent to sports.Laying out the supplies for activities and tasks in advance ensures that you are ready to undertake the activity or task at the required time.Piggybacking habitsWhat do you do that is already an ingrained habit and how can you extend and embrace a new habit as part of the existing routine.Surround yourself with good peopleYou will take on the habits and attitudes of the people you spend the most time with so it's important to be with people who inspire you and you aspire to be like.Commit to a challengeIt may be because you don't want to let someone down or because you want to prove you can, sharing your challenge with others provides you with accountability.Make it interestingIf what you are doing doesn't inspire you or you are not passionate about it you will not be able to sustain it.It's all about the ritualsWhat is the one thing that if you did it consistently and well would make the biggest difference in your life?It doesn't have to be an everyday thingHabits have a regularity but don't have to be done every day but there must be a consistency.Focus on yourselfYou need to sort out yourself before you are in a position to lead and influence others. Doing it yourself is vital if you are asking others to do it. Actions speak louder than words.Make it about your identitySetting external and internal goals. External goals can be validated by whether you have or have not achieved them. Intrinsic goals are the value characteristics that are important to you, such as honesty and trust, only you can decide if you have achieved them.Keep it simpleLife is more complicated because of the availability of information and the systems we have. Your daily ‘to do' lists should be doable enabling you to have time to spend with family and friends.Pick yourself up when you fallThe path to self-improvement is rocky. Slipping and tripping is inevitableYou need to understand as humans we will falter but it's vital to pick yourself up and continue. BEST MOMENTS‘It's about the successful creation of habits'‘We live or die by the habits we have'‘Make it about you, what do you want people to say about you'‘What fundamentals do you have in your life that are important, what are the big rocks in your life'‘We are addicted to our digital machinery' VALUABLE RESOURCESLeader Manager Coach PodcastRyan Holiday books13 Life Changing Habits article by Ryan HolidayAtomic Habits book by James ClearThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book by Stephen Covey ABOUT THE HOSTRob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
