In ONE day, Friday, January 10th, most people will Quit on their Dreams and New Year’s Resolutions…Welcome to National Quitters Day!
Research conducted by Strava, the social network for athletes, analyzed more than 31.5 million fitness records from its users and found that the second Friday in January is the fateful day when most of our annual commitments start to crumble. So, for 2020, that’s This Friday – 4 Days from now.
Have you already started to lie to yourself and rationalize why you should Quit on your dreams?
Are you busy working on the Spin (The lame excuses you will tell everyone why you Quit)?
What if you took all the time and energy you are devoting to creating an exit strategy (Quitting), and you start using your time & energy to Motivate yourself!
We make it So easy on ourselves to Quit.
Here are a few of the many reasons that we will be celebrating with the other Quitters on National Quitter’s day this Friday:
Setting a Goal or Resolution without knowing WHY – If You want to lose weight, get into shape, own a business, get out of debt, or stop smoking Then YOU better have a convincing WHY!
Unrealistic Expectations – You look like Kevin Hart but set a goal to look like the Rock this year.
Too Many Goals/Resolutions – The Military taught us to: “Keep It Simple Stupid.” Start with ONE SMALL goal and build momentum and confidence.
Setting Goals without a plan – This is like going on vacation with no destination in mind, no reservations for plane, hotel, or food. Good Luck!
Surrounding yourself with the same people who helped you get to where you are NOW – If you want to achieve something you’ve never had, then you MUST surround yourself with those who can help you not hurt you.
Never writing out your Goals/Resolutions – Writing goals down can help us to achieve them because it feels like more of a commitment.
Not protecting You from YOU – Get the junk food out of the house. Join a gym. Place the alarm clock across the room. Create accountability Partners and Mentors. Make the adjustments necessary to protect yourself from Yourself!
You were not Created to be a Quitter, so make sure you do NOT celebrate National Quitters this Friday.
2020 Can be the Best year of your life. All you have to do is Stay The Course.
Find Your Passion…Find Your Life!
