The This is day-a-de-a-de-a-de-a-de-a-de-a-de-a-de-a-de-de-eau, and today is day two of Family Week. Day one we dove into the letters of

appreciation as far as it would pertain to those closest to us in our lives and

why it actually matters. What doesn't matter to have that true

attitude of gratitude from the inside out? For me it completely changes my belief system about how things operate on a day-over-day basis.

I shared a story about a travel day and being able to sense and be aware of the gratitude that's all around me

while also realizing that it gave me the strength and power to reconnect with my wife

even though we weren't on the same page.

You see as habits are formed and new belief systems are created it's going to take you 22 days or so of starting to do

something where it's going to be pretty easy, right, where you're

excited about it. Hence this potential note of appreciation and gratitude. But then

up until day 50, 55, maybe even 60, right? Those next 35, 38 days, there's this chasm of chaos,

where you're confused in the moment of like, why am I even doing this?

Nothing is happening.

It's putting in a ton of work and seeing very little results, very little output.

This is a known phenomenon. This is not something that's a one-off to just you. This is how we work as human beings.

So when you get to that 60, 66, 70th day,

all of a sudden these rituals, these habits, become automatic. At this point I like to refer to it as this becomes

a lifestyle for you. Now if I like to push into the 90 day window to make sure everything sits, make sure it all seeds

in nice and deep in your subconscious, and that the automatic ability that you have to produce

a new outcome is there on tap all the time.

But I don't want to stop just with

the ones closest to us.
