I mentioned in yesterday’s blog that I’ve never had a problem with getting up at 5am for work.
Part of that is because I enjoy it.
But, let’s be honest, I don’t really have a choice.
It wouldn’t take many snoozed alarms and missed Sessions for my business to fall apart.
And I’m sure most of us get up in time to get to work relatively easily.
And waking in the middle of the night to go on holiday?
Zero problem, I’m sure.
It’s all about leverage.
How much what we do matters.
If it matters enough, we’ll do it.
And probably find it easier than we might imagine.
It’s an extreme example, but if I said that some terrible fate would befall a loved one if you didn’t lose X amount of weight in the coming months………
You’d lose X amount of weight in the coming months.
When we have enough skin in the game………
When it matters enough………
We can do pretty much anything.
Now, realistically we are unlikely to realistically create that degree of leverage.
But we can create more than we have now.
If it doesn’t really matter if we go for a workout today………
Or if we make some better food choices or not……..
Then there’s a good chance that we won’t.
If we arrange to meet a friend for a workout…….
Then that extra leverage will make it more likely.
If we make public proclamation, tell our kids or make a wager with a friend that we will lose X amount of weight over a certain time frame…….
Then that extra leverage will make it more likely.
If we make a reverse wager on stickk.com so that we’ll give our hard earned money to a cause that we really dislike if we don’t do what we said we would……..
Then that extra leverage will make it more likely.
Whatever the case, it’s worth remembering that we regularly do things that perhaps we wouldn’t do if there wasn’t that leverage there.
So how can we do an equivalent to apply more leverage to the things that we’re struggling with?
Much love,
