Be The Captain Of Your Boat

Be the captain of your boat. TODAY, RIGHT NOW. BE the person that you want to become.

How?

Focus your precious energy on these 2 things:

1. Your daily actions.

2. Creating consistency in those actions in order to form long lasting habits.

What NOT to do:

- Focus only on the outcome.
- Get so fixated with the end goal that you become frustrated and impatient with yourself when you don't see results.
- Strive for perfection.

Think about it like this...

Every action you make is a vote for the type of person you want to become.

Ask yourself...

What do I want

I want to be ________

I want to feel ________

I want people to perceive me as ________

Now ask yourself this...

Are your ACTIONS aligned with the person you want to be?

Try to view your " goal self" as a person you know closely, like a friend.

Every time you find yourself in a situation where you have resistance towards doing the things that will take you closer to your goals, ask yourself
What would " Goal Me" do right now?

Here's an example:

Outcome / " End Goal": “I want to lose fat”

Current identity Action: “Eats chips because there’s nothing healthy in my fridge”

NEW Identity Action: Every Sunday I meal prep healthy, nourishing foods to fill my fridge up with foods that “ Goal Me ” would eat!

Here's another example:

Come home after a long day at work and...

Thought process: What would " Goal Me" do?

1. Watch Netflix and eat a tub of ice cream.

OR

2. Decompress by exercising or going for a nice afternoon walk to unwind instead?

You will know the correct answer to that one, depending on your goals.
