Oh, so the outcome is not going to motivate you.

Once you've identified where you want to get to,

You should assume that on a day to day, thinking about how amazing that will be is not going to make you do the hard thing right now.

Right.

So you should, first of all, you want to know where you want to get to.

And then you want to work out that you genuinely believe that if you repeat these things, like I want to get here, I want to be able to be a runner.

I want to be able to run 5k.

I believe that if I repeat three runs a week for this long, I may not be, I may not know exactly where I'll be, but I'll certainly be in a far better place than I want to be now.

And so once you've identified that going through those motions literally will get you there, that's your plan.

Put that to one side.

Yeah.

And assume that that long term plan is not relevant anymore.

You just know, you just trust that if I do the things I said, the individual choices in a row, not only will they get easier, but I will end up where I want to be.

Then you need to sit down and work out.

What do I need to unlearn?

What's going to be hard?

What am I going to need to do in a row?

And start to treat it the same way you would if you were learning to speak French.

What periods of the day are going to be hard?

When am I likely to lose momentum because I'm going to go on holiday?
