Yesterday was a good day and I ticked off the two biggest goals which is over 8 hours work, and I ate well. I fasted until 2.30pm and before that, my whole morning was focused work.
If I could make every day like yesterday my life would move forward quickly but I’m realistic enough to know that energy will come and go, and motivation will dwindle as it gets harder. But getting harder is just my body being resistant to change.
If I commit to the change and acknowledge that it’ll be hard but just keep moving forward, then eventually my mind will break and form new habits and beliefs. This is going to be the most impactful 180 days of my life, but it’s also going to be the most difficult 180 days. I’m going to have to work harder than I ever have, and remove more distractions and comforting habits that I’ve relied on for the first 31 years of my life.
I need to change and I need my finances to turn around quickly. This is why I’m committed to something as extreme as this. I know I can pull it off too. Fuck everyone who says extreme goals don’t work because I know they do for me. I know that every good thing in my life comes from an extreme habit that I’ve put in place, and everything bad in my life has come from bad habits.
All I need to do is tick off my goals every single day and fight against how I might feel. I know it’s going to take everything I have, but I’ve got the mindset, and the ability to succeed in this.
One thing I learned yesterday is that I need to get some of my smaller goals out of the way early in the day because they don’t happen at night. Make a plan for when I’m going to do them, and then follow through with that plan without making exceptions.
Remember my principles:
- I can act in spite of how I feel
- Keep making good decisions no matter how small
- I am in control of my thoughts and there is no limit to the creativity I can give my mind
I’m going to push hard to day 2, fast until 2pm, and in that morning block until 2pm get most of my habits done. I will tick them all off today, and then push a little bit harder than required so that I can start to build a buffer and get some positive reinforcement.
