How To Get Back On Track

Picture

 ​Have you ever been so out of it that you forget how to do the thing you had been doing? Your routine that you had the day that you got things going and you started the new year were working out and then maybe take a little trip or vacation, something happens in the family or any distraction or you know you’re trying to do something new you started a habit you went 21 days and then just life happens. Your boss wants a little bit more, your family demands little bit more, your life demands a little bit more these thigns sidetracks just a little bit but you haven’t forgotten about your decision to do something better with yourself, your life or something in the area of your life your family. Like me have ever been there?

I’m gonna give you some tips of what that would really help me to kind of stay on track and re-engage myself when I was so distracted. I just wrapped a training on consistency and this was reminded of the steps I would take. What I did would reset my sites low meaning when I got started with the new habit what did I do purposely to kind of get started? Whatever was easiest, one would say what ever made me feel good, but I moved towards that direction. 

So for instance if I was to work out and want to get in shape or healthy fit, the first thing I would do is make my mind to walk through the doors of the gym. It wasn’t to work out for an hour or lift for an hour and a half or go to an aerobics class it was just basically can I walk in the door of the gym, literally pull my car into the parking lot, park, get out of my car and walk to the gym open door and step in.(Success)

What sometimes I think people do is forget that it’s a long term race. If you have to decide it’s something long-term that you’re committed to this thing over the long-haul, good! This is not that you’re trying to get something done in 21 days or 30 days or 60 days(short term goals are fine) like I’m gonna lose the 20 pounds but if you say to me you know what over the course of my lifetime it could take me a year, could take me two years to get there, could take me three years I’m committed to this thing long-term. Saying, “I made a decision back in January or back in March, February whatever it is I made a decision to make myself better to do it. I need to make a priority my finances or family relationships or health or whatever it is you made a decision. I consider it a long-term decision so if you get the derailed or you get disrupted or you get knocked off your consistent effort. 

Listen, go back to what’s easiest start the thing that was easy is it easiest to start and that made you feel good do that thing.

So I encourage you take the guesswork out of your success and do the things that got you there in the first place, stick to the basics. Go back to the basics so when you’re derailed, that you lock into the consistent effort. It’s OK, it’s OK to make mistakes, just jump back up and just get started again do the simplest task that’s right in front of you..

​God bless you maximizers and thanks for your attention-Coach Milton
