Execution
In the last last post, we discussed planning and how that affects your success in reaching your goals, next we will discuss execution… which pretty much just means getting started! How do you get ensure you get up soon as the alarm goes off or getting started when its time to get to working?
Depending on what your goals are, you should ensure you are mentally and physically ready. You can do this by ensuring your clothes are laid out the night before or you could also choose to sleep in your workout gear. If you are looking to change your eating habits, ensure you have done your shopping and food prep prior and the day before have all you need to ensure you have no excuse to get started the following day.
When it is GO time, use the 5 – Second Rule! If it is your alarm or sitting in front of that computer, do not allow more than 5 seconds to go by before you spring into action. Otherwise you will allow your brain to talk you out of it so you need to out-brain your brain. Do not allow 5 seconds to go by before getting started. If you would like to find out more, please check out this YouTube video or read this book.
Once you are going, use a tracking mechanism you can check off daily as you progress. This can be a calendar entry or a daily post to your family and friends. Whatever way you may choose, always have an action that recognizes that you made it through your day. This is a sure fire way to hold yourself accountable ensure you keep going!
Flourishingly Yours,
