Building Momentum and Sustainable Habits
January 10, 2025
the first session you have with someone, you go, what are you willing to do? I'll do anything. No, you won't. You won't. I can tell you right now, you won't do anything. You won't do everything. let's figure out what you will actually do consistently day to day to day to build some actual right we want to build momentum and not lose that so if i put somebody on a massively extreme thing and go all the way to the other side they might do that for three days and they're gonna go yeah fuck this i can't do this i'm like okay oh this might be might be the right entry point of going slow this is way too fast but this slowness also might be too slow for you So we have to find somewhere between these two points where you can do it. You can be consistent. You can make this not a part of a diet or a training block. This is like what we're doing forever. So we need to find what are the things you could do right now forever and ever and ever, non-negotiable. And that creates the foundation. And then we go, okay, what's the next layer? Now that you kind of have balls deep or ovaries deep into this, what's the next thing we can do, right? And I think probably the best system to learn that is like Precision Nutrition. They're great at this. Like it's all about habits. And you know my talk. I don't like habits. I like turning habits into rituals. But you have to start with a habit. You can't have a ritual until you've done it long enough for it to just be a thing, right? And you have to find that entry point.
