Day 1: THE MOMENTUM MINDSET
Welcome to Day 1 of the Get Moving Challenge. Thinking about getting fit can be really overwhelming. The thought of running a mile or doing 20 push-ups can seem so intimidating... impossible even.
While we have great intentions, life gets in the way and we just canāt seem to get up and get going.
I mean, have you ever noticedā¦
Itās not hard to get moving when youāre already in motionā¦
But finding the sparkš„ to get started when youāre lying on the couch on a cold, rainy day?
Nearly impossible! Sometimes it seems a whole lot easier to do nothing, doesnāt it?
But thankfully thereās a better way!
And the best part? You donāt have to miraculously become a gym rat who does Cross fit seven days a week. š
CREATING A MOMENTUM MINDSET
The thought of running for an hour in the freezing š„¶rain aināt gonna get you off that couch, amigo.
The simplest way to kick that procrastination bug and build a momentum mindset is to make the action so small and so simple that it becomes almost frictionless.
Thatās the trick. Plain and simple.
Want to get moving now? Keep it simple. Donāt rely on your mood, or the perfect weather, or a workout buddy to get you going.
Build movement into your day so you can do it whenever and wherever you are.
Tip: If you need special tools or conditions, then itās too complex.
But getting up and doing 1 jumping jack? Doable. Donāt commit to 100. Just do ONE.
That way itās frictionless. It will take a grand total of 5 seconds. Done.
The best part about this technique is that once you get up and get going, itās easy to say ājust one moreā and add an extra rep.
But not feeling it? No pressure and no obligation. Just do one. Thatās the minimum for today.
You got this!
ACTION:
Letās build your momentum mindset today with a small and simple action step.
What is ONE tiny action that you can commit to doing today? Tiny means... 1 push-up, 1 crunch, or 1 jumping jack. Not 10. Not 5. Just one.
Once you decide what that one tiny habit isā¦ Do it. Now. Just get up and do it. Itāll only take MAX 5 seconds.
Donāt be overly ambitious. You donāt want to go too big and overwhelm yourself. Small and repeatable is trick.
With this mindset, youāre increasing your odds of progress and success.
Okay, now itās time for you to get busy. Go do your ONE thing now, then in the comments below, please share what your tiny action was. Come on, donāt be shy! Stay tuned for tomorrow because weāre going to keep you moving. Donāt worry, youāll be able to handle it!
See you tomorrow!
