Lindsay has recently adapted a morning mantra that
has been so great for her in so many ways.
How bad you want
it?
Because that’s really what it comes down to.
Whatever it is that you want to accomplish… How bad you want it are
you willing to put in the hours and hours it takes to get good at
something or accomplish the hard goal? Are you willing to get super
uncomfortable and push through even when you want to
quit?
Lindsay talks about in the past… she’s tricked
herself into thinking she didn’t know what the next step was to
accomplish certain goals… when really she knew what needed to be
done, she just wasn’t all-in-committed to it.
It all starts with the morning mantra that carries us
through the day.
One question that you answer each morning… that helps
you make the best decisions throughout the day.
It’s filtering out any distractions or negative
thoughts for thinking about the past in the ways that don’t serve
me… It’s about waking up with a clear and refreshed mind… Which
helps me stay more focused throughout the day and able to self
correct quickly when I fall into a habit I don’t want to like
negative self talk or mindlessly scrolling.
So the question is… how bad do you actually want
it?
Write out your 3 priorities for the day and stay
focused on them.
Then… commit and burn the boat!
Freedom doesn’t equal freedom… discipline equals
freedom
Mark Twain once said, “Eat a live
frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to
you the rest of the day.”
How bad you want
it?
Lose weight - when you reach for calorie
surplus
Gain muscle - get out of bed and work out when you
want to sleep in
Make a certain amount of sales - put in the hours it
takes to get good
Make more money - push through the pain
Wake up early - if you need more time to accomplish
goals
Let go of the past - fight the urge to sink into
it
Health - make the appointments, take the
supplements
Conflict resolution - address the issues weighing
heavily on you
Increase your willpower - embrace
discomfort
Get rid of stress - hug the monster! Tackle it head
on - you feel so much better
Have a great group of friends - go out at night even
when you want to stay on the couch
Lindsay explains… When I’m not sure what I should do
for the next hour or whatever it is I ask myself… What would the
person do if it is achieving what I want to achieve.
And ask… how bad do you actually want it?
It’s about having a clear focus of what’s the most
important to you and prioritizing the things you’re working to make
happen.
And it’s just as much about what I want as it is what
I don’t want. It’s filtering out any distractions or negative
thoughts for thinking about the past in the ways that don’t serve
me… It’s about waking up with a clear and refreshed mind… Which
helps you stay more focused throughout the day and able to self
correct quickly when you fall into a habit you don’t want to like
negative self talk or mindlessly scrolling.
And then… knowing your priorities and focus and the
ways you're going to challenge myself for that day… And when you
start to question it or it gets more than uncomfortable… the most
powerful question you can ask yourself. How bad do you want
it?
CHEERS friends! To going after what you really
want and doing what it takes to get it.
