Episode Details

Have you ever heard the saying, “Never skip a day,” if you've tried to create a new habit, started a New Year's resolution, or have had any sort of health or fitness related goal, you've probably have. But on today’s episode of the Purpose & Profit Club™, I want to share why I hate this saying and why I think it's just a perfectionist trap. And instead, we’ll talk about how to create new habits, set better goals, how to stick to them, and how I've done this in my own professional and personal life. Plus, if you do like the mentality of never skipping a day, I’m covering what to do if life happens and you inevitably do have to skip a day. I want you to think of one goal you have, decide the habits you’ll create and the guardrails you’ll put in place to achieve them. Then, I want you to ditch the idea that you’ve got to be perfect at implementing it.

Topics:

• Why the idea of “perfect” is a red flag, especially if you’re not living solo 
• How to actually create sustainable habits without the “never skip a day” BS 
• Acknowledging that it takes about 60 days to create a habit and how to create a realistic timeline/goals
• Motivating yourself through the times where you don’t see instant feedback/gratification 
• Why the inner work is more of a barrier than anything tactical when it comes to habit creation 
• Giving yourself the freedom to break the rules to find what serves you and your audience the best 
• Remembering to celebrate the small wins
