420: The Mindset That Will Instantly Improve Your Life (MUST WATCH)

Why can’t I stay excited about my goals in the long-term? I used to ask myself that question for so many years. Is it just me??? But after looking for a solution to this problem, I realized that the issue wasn’t with my mind, but it was with the way I was seeing my goals. I always had big lofty goals and that’s awesome. But it’s in the nature of these goals to be very long term. So I would spend days and weeks all dialed in, only to slow down and slowly get bored with the process. I had nothing to look forward to but some distant reward. Then I came across a blog post that talked about breaking down these objectives into smaller bite-sized chunks. I instantly realized that all my goals were comprised of a ton of moving parts, and each part was a goal on its own. For example, when I decided to lose 40 pounds in 2016, I broke down my goal into a) getting a Magic Bullet and substituting my unhealthy snacks with a protein and fruit smoothie. b) Doing HIIT 6 days a week c) going grocery shopping once a week and buying only healthy foods etc. It worked! Every time I hit a new milestone, I was just as happy as if I had hit my main goal. That excitement made me stick to the process all the way through and I eventually hit my main goal. Since then, I have been using this goal-setting system with all my personal and professional goals. What do you do to keep yourself motivated?
