Summary
We can't have it all at once. Today, we look at building momentum by doing little things and building an exciting process that leads you to completing that extreme goal. It could be breaking an addiction or finishing Ironman, but whatever it is, we are better off doing it in a way that doesn't depend solely on willpower. Do you make enough time for yourself? Are you saying yes or no to the right things? Are you setting the right kinds of goals? There is a ton of power in creating process driven goals and really drilling into the enjoyment of the process itself. When you see someone glide by you in a race, it's not usually their determination, it is long hours of doing the work and drilling deep. Get out of the "suck it up" cycle and build tactics that engage you in the little things that most people don't do.
