"Fixing" Our Willpower, #34

I can't count the amount of times I have made a vow to myself like this and failed at accomplishing it...1. This is the last sweet I am having for a MONTH!2. Taking the next 3 weeks off from drinking for sure3. Definitely adding 10 minutes of meditation to my routine every day4. OK, I am going to stop scrolling through Instagram's feed all the time...starting tomorrow5. Going to work on that hobby/project every day for an hour to improve at it!6. I am addicted to caffeine, I don't need it and I am taking the rest of the year off from it!In the moment these come from true sources of inspiration and motivation, yet once that feeling inevitably fades away, what are we left to do? We fall back into our old habits. Another pint of ice cream down, another day where we never found the time to read that book or forgot to go for that run...all of a sudden a year is behind us and we are no closer to creating the best version of ourselves in the way we want. That is the bad news.The good news is that everybody except for Elon Musk and Kevin Hart are doing the same fucking thing. There is an alternative however and it will get you from point A to point B, it just may take a little time and persistence.This episode I briefly go into the single most important hack I have discovered to slowly build those good habits into our lives without getting stressed or fretting about not accomplishing enough.What would you choose to take away/add to your life if you knew in a few months it could truly be a part of your lifestyle instead of something you do only when you remember?Please subscribe and leave me a review on iTunes if you enjoy the show!
