Summary

Matt lays down a solid foundation on STAYING POWER - creating and cementing performance habits, especially in the popular areas of nutrition and strength.

First, though, we must differentiate between a habit and a resolution.

A habit is something that stays with you - becomes a part of you -- for the long-term.
A resolution, conversely, is quite often a self-imposed intervention and reeks of unsustainability. These are often pass/fail short term fixes with very little chance of success.

Matt anchors this timely discussion around two always-popular topics of performance: strength training and nutrition. How do you go about making a long-lasting change without falling into short-term, pass/fail traps?

Here are some of the tips that Matt breaks down in detail.

Share the journey (for accountability)
Focus on the process, not the outcome
Seek mini-victories
Draw from the lessons of 2020

Habit formation.

It should feel like a small change, a small step. But it will be a step that makes a mighty echo across your performance spectrum.

0:00.0	I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast.
0:03.5	The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential.
0:09.3	Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential.
0:13.3	The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life.
0:19.8	And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever,
0:23.1	your host Matt Dixon. And welcome to 2021. Boom. It's going to be a big year of performance.
0:30.9	We link arms together. We go forth into our journey of performance. And today, we discuss something suitable, habit formation.
0:41.9	I want you to get your mindset right to create staying power in your sport and life performance.
0:47.7	And so we're going to discuss some of the essential steps of how to get going,
0:52.2	as well as two of the, well, the big hitters, the focal points for so
0:58.3	many people around habit change and formation over the course of these months. And so stick with me.
1:07.0	It's going to be a big one. It's going to set you off in 2021 in the right way. But before we do so,
1:13.9	before we dive into those magical meat and potatoes that you're all salivating over, we have to do a
1:19.4	couple of things. And that starts with a squatty update. Yes, a squatty update. It's early part of
1:26.6	January. We're setting up for a big 2021. And of course,
1:31.0	the Purple Patch athletes are on their quest. They're emerging from a chaotic year of disruption
1:36.4	that we all have shared. And we are going to embrace these coming months of training a little
1:42.6	differently than typical years because, let's face it,
1:46.3	last year was a little bit of a dumpster fire. And so it requires a little evolution, and I wanted
1:51.9	to share some of that with you today. Now, we still maintain many of the common philosophical approaches
1:59.4	of training that is ever present at Purple Patch.
