I keep going because I always remind myself that how my life will be if I continue doing these habits,and I think that I should try to be better if I really want to male change in this world and Alway rememt that your dream deserves to be tired

I remind myself of all the times I gave up on trying to be healthier, mind and body. If I hadn’t quit so many times before, for years, who knows how much healthier and better I’d feel by now. So I go on to attain that for my future self.

Sometimes I don’t. There are days I mess up and can’t get out of bed in time to do my morning ritual or that I’m so exhausted that I forget to do my nighttime ritual. However, the key is to get back to it the next day regardless of a misstep. I remind myself how important these little things are for my daily experience in life – how much they impact me and those around me – and I start again.

threeI take it day by day and look at this like a process. Each day I do my best to follow my morning, afternoon, and evening routines. When I started, because this was new, hitting even one task in my routine was great. I kept telling myself “this is a process, Rome was not built in a day!” Each day I kept focusing on one piece of the routine and then once I got that down I’d add another. Now, I have a few pieces in each routine down, but I won’t lie, it’s not perfect. Are there days when I miss a piece of the routines? Sure! But as I said it is a process, a marathon, not a sprint. Keep believing you can and you will.

For me,I focus on doing these small things. I do not worry about what is coming next, just do the habits I have already started. Little by little I will be changing as I get these routines into my life. It is hard sometimes when my schedule changes are I am traveling, in fact, the hardest thing for me is to be doing this at the same time every day when the prompts happen. But I know if I do in these little things I will become a better me!

By trying to understand why I stop and then restarting. I have built a long standing habit of quitting or not following through. Instead of choosing to feel bad about it, I have built a new habit of restarting. After some reflection, i realize I quit when life gets hectic and my mind and body are just wanting to rest. After reflection, I realized that it is necessary to take a short break or rest to be able to come back strong. Over time the habit of reflection and restarting has taken hold and I am ale to get back on track quicker… Almost as if I never stopped. It is also helpful to set some sort term goals that fuel my desire to achieve bigger goals as I achieve the small ones.

Keep thinking of the future outcome along with living in the present. It’s easy to give up, but I dont like to give up. Take a little break. Take a deep breath. Then keep going

I change intensity based off what is happening. I don’t tell myself “all or nothing” but “just keep moving.” If I don’t run fast one day, I run a slower pace. If I don’t run a slower pace, I walk. If I can’t run 5 miles because of work or something, I run 2 instead. Just stay in the positive habit! Don’t do nothing.

Try not to think much about it. Every time that a bad thought crosses my mind I ignore it and replace it with a good thought that gives me reason to keep going. Then I repeat that thought like a mantra so that the unmotivated thoughts will stay away.

Visualize yourself in a year’s time. If procrastination hits, think of discipline, think of it as fighting back. Always remember how good you feel after completing your tasks
