What would it look like if making a sales call each morning was fun?
And that doesn't mean that your habits are going to feel like the most fun thing in your life.
It's not like, oh, this will feel like going to a concert or something.
But let's take just a common one like exercise.
A lot of people go to the gym in January, and I feel like they kind of are going because they feel like they should go or society wants them to go or something.
But if we just take 10 minutes and write out what are ways that we can live a healthy, active lifestyle, there's dozens.
You know, go to the gym, kayak, rock climb, do yoga.
You can come up with a lot of things, right?
And I think you should just write that list out for whatever the habit is that you're working on.
And then look at the 10 or 20 or 50 things that you have and then say, which one of these sounds like the most fun to me?
You know, which one of these sounds most engaging?
And you're much more likely to follow through on that than you are on something else.
The first key, the first hurdle to clear is to find things that are genuinely interesting to you, that are genuinely fun to you.
You know, the person who felt like it was a hassle at the start or it kind of feels like it's a chore and they're sort of making themselves do it,
As soon as it gets hard, they're going to stop.
They didn't want to do it to begin with.
But the person who is having fun, the person who's engaged and interested, the person who's curious and excited about it, they're way more likely to stick with it when it gets hard.
So...
A habit is a behavior that you want to do consistently.
That you want to do consistently.
