5 habits that will fix 93% of your problems

have you ever rolled out of bed one morning and for whatever reason you just kind of felt blah like you're not sick and there's nothing wrong per say but you feel kind of drained and unmotivated like you don't really feel like doing anything and as you sit there observing this kind of BL feeling you you realize that you've kind of felt this way for a few weeks now tired lethargic apathetic and it's frustrating because you can think back and you're like man I was crushing it last month I was focused I was energized I was productive and then one day you just you woke up and everything was different you didn't even realize it at first but your mojo just kind of up and disappeared now if you've ever felt this way don't worry this is completely normal we all experience these highs these lows because that's just how life is half the time you're going to feel above average and half the time you're going to feel below average that's how averages work the trick is to Simply recognize when you've been spending too many days in a row falling below average that way you can quickly take action to reverse the trend and if you make a habit of this then in time your Baseline of how often you feel good it starts to increase and now what constitutes a bad day would have qualified as a good day only a few years ago this is what we call the chaotic path of improvement and we're all on it now I've personally fallen into a whole lot of ruts over the years and what I found is that to get out of them and get my Baseline trending back up it doesn't require me to do anything crazy I I don't need to take Massive Action usually I just I need to commit myself to five small habits which I'm going to share with you in this video the first is to Define winning the day I want you to imagine that you sit down to play a game for the first time your your friend he tells you all the rules he explains how the pieces move and maybe even shares some basic strategy but if he leaves out one piece of Vital Information then none of it actually helps so what is that one thing that you need to know in order to play any game effectively it's this you got to know how to actually win the game like is it the person with the most points the fewest points or is it the person who completes the level the fastest I mean you would play golf very differently if you thought the goal was to get through all 18 holes as quickly as possible right that might actually make it fun now the truth is if you don't know how winning is determined then it doesn't really matter what you do how smart you are how creative or hardworking you are ultimately your strategies they're useless and whether or not you actually win the game is going to be determined by blind luck now it's pretty obvious to see why this is not a good strategy in the context of a game but this is exactly how most people are playing the game of Life most just never stop to Define what winning the day actually looks like and as a result they go through the motions just hoping they get lucky and somehow they stumble into a win but that's generally not what ends up happening here's what does since you don't have a clear idea of what winning looks like you go through life always feeling like you're losing because there's always more that could be done and this leads most people to experience a state of Perpetual low-grade discontent in and frustration they never get that euphoric high that comes from winning the championship game not only does that suck but it's entirely avoidable so if you want to get off this treadmill of psychic discontent then just take 10 minutes every morning to chalk the field and Define for yourself what does winning that day look like get clear about what it is you want to accomplish and perhaps more importantly how you want to accomplish it and here's a pro tip make the game easy to win if you go above and beyond that's great but it's more important to just get positive momentum moving in the right direction when you do that you get to the end of your day on a high note and this gets you excited to tackle the next day which creates a virtuous cycle of success now in our next habit I'm going to share with you a super simple trick for initiating that virtuous cycle and to do that all you have to do is wake up when you said you would so much of success in life is just maintaining momentum in the right direction which is why it's so important that you start the day with positive momentum and the easiest way you can do that is by giving yourself an easy win before you even get out of bed in the morning morning in that moment when your alarm has just gone off and you're groggy you're half asleep and you're faced with one of the most important decisions of the entire day will you do as you said you would hit the alarm and get up or are you going to break the promise you made to yourself and hit snooze now I get it this might seem like a small decision and you're probably thinking what's the big deal Anthony another 5 minutes isn't really going to change anything and to that I say yes yes it will it changes the most important thing which is are you the type of person who shows up and does what you say or aren't you it's that simple now listen only one person in the entire world is even going to know what decision you made in that moment but it also happens to be the only person whose opinion of you matters yourself your self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself and when you break the promises you make to yourself such as I'm going to wake up at this time or I'm going to hit the gym three times this week or I'm going to make a 100 cold calls today whatever it is when you don't follow through you subconsciously degrade the opinion you have of yourself you stop setting as ambitious of goals you lower your standards you stop taking the actions which would lead you to success Because deep down in your heart of hearts you don't believe you have what it takes because you couldn't even get out of bed in the morning when you said you would but to clarify I'm not saying you need to wake up at 5:00 a. m. or compromise your sleep in any way the key here is to make a decision the night before about when you're going to wake up and then follow through with that so if you say I'm going to wake up at 9:00 a.

m. great get up at 9:00 a. m.
