Today's theme #MondayMotivation, and on my mind is some advice from entrepreneur Alex Hormozi that he shared in relation to business, however ABSOLUTELY it relates to health. Alex states to succeed you need: 🦁 The COURAGE to start (his word was balls, I like courage) 🧠 The BRAINS to learn. 💚 The HEART to never give up. To elaborate as I see it... 1. In health, you need the Courage to really commit. Wishy, washy, half-hearted won't cut it. It will likely ALSO eat away at your belief in yourself when you don't come through for you. Bonus points? Sharing your commitment with the people closest to you "should" elicit their support / understanding and also, it will help hold you accountable to more than simply yourself. 2. The Brains means recognising when something isn't working and adjusting accordingly. I absolutely DO NOT mean bouncing from one approach to the next. I do mean learning from mistakes or times you're set yourself up to lose the discipline game. 3. If you are taking the right actions, consistently you WILL see results. However, sadly they likely won't be in the fast timeframe you would most love. This means you must have the Heart to stick with it, as long as it takes and ALSO, to consciously focus on the good - the joy of the journey - the small wins, so that you can stick with it AS LONG AS IT TAKES! 😀 What small or big (!) wins do you have to share?

What is your ONE most important daily action for 30 Days this October Plant Positive Jumpstart? Considerations for your daily action: - This is about skill acquisition as well as results. What skills are worth building? - What is something that will have a compounding positive impact on your life? - What is the upside, if it goes really well? - What is the downside, is there even one - besides a little time?

Our Theme, #MondayMotivation, Today is the perfect day for this post because after a lovely 3 day weekend spent with a dear friend visiting from interstate I woke up early, ready to power into my day AND.... well, my Mojo seemed to be MIA! Here's how I got through: "Past Kate" had thankfully laid the groundwork for a productive day by planning my day to come the night before. With a list of tasks by order of priority with time allotted to each. "Present Kate" relied on these 3 strategies to get going: 1. I set my iPhone timer for 45 minutes and just made a start. Gradually working through the tasks and I will admit - I started with the easiest ones - and did bump a couple of important not urgent tasks to tomorrow. They'll get done. 2. I meditated and trained because I know they are non-negotiable to keep me calm and healthy. 3. When I started to fade around 2pm I went for a brief, calming, gratitude inducing walk in nature. As it got a little struggle-street I thought of "Future Kate" and these 3 points: 1. What will Make Me Proud when I crawl into bed tonight? 2. The Law of Recency, which states the action you most recently took is the one you are more likely to take again. So, if I want to be effective and efficient tomorrow I need to do the best I can today. 3. The Anti-Mentor, who is that person I really don't want to be - with the results I really don't want? Love to know your best strategies when you have a low mojo day?
