You don't get in shape once and then it's over.

You don't eat healthy once and it's over.

These are like lifestyle changes.

And so they have to be something that we can continue to do.

And the problem for most of us a lot of the time is we take on too much.

We think that we can start working out 90 minutes a day, also add cold plunges in journaling and meditation, and I'm going to make all that happen.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so we try that and we inevitably fail, at least part of it.

And then we have a tendency when we don't succeed at doing something, we have a tendency to then conclude we can't do it and give up.

What the small, little by little approach allows us to do is to

set our goals reasonably enough that we can succeed at them.

And success builds upon itself, right?

We know motivation goes up when we feel good about ourselves and good at our chances of something happening.

And it goes down when we feel bad about ourselves or we doubt our ability.

So by doing something that we're able to do, we become more motivated and we can build over time if we need to.

And little by little, I mean something actually very specific.

I mean low resistance actions done consistently over time in the same direction.

So it doesn't necessarily mean tiny.

Low resistance for you and I might be different.
