Is It A Dirty Word
Willpower
It’s what so many of us rely on for pretty much
everything
So when you’re starting a new training program
You’re all fired up and have bags of the stuff
But you also have work to contend with
A demanding family at home
It’s ok though cos you just get up an hour earlier to
get your session in
^^^ That will last for about 5 days (AT THE MOST)
Don’t believe me?
(I think you probably already know it’s true… cos
it’s what happened last time)
This is one of the reasons why the STRONG DAD online
program is so effective
It was the Skype calls last week
Where we sit face to face (just me and thee) and talk
about what’s working
Along with any help you may need
And the thing that comes up time and time and time
AGAIN
Is that willpower has dwindled
REAL life has re-emerged (and fast)
Suddenly everything feels really hard (almost like
you’ve taken a step backwards)
THEN BOOM
Three days later and you’re flying again
This is what everyone on the STRONG DAD program has
experienced
And if it wasn’t for these face to face calls (along
with the support from everyone via the WhatsApp group)
I think everyone would have given up…
There’s a word for this phenomenonononon
‘ The Drift ‘
^^^ When you start something new you’re all excited and
motivated
Then when the reality of what’s actually involved hits
you … you become overwhelmed
The goal you’ve set yourself seems waaaaay off
This is when you have 2 choices
1) Listen to your thoughts of anxiety and fear
‘It’s too hard’
‘I can’t do it’
‘It’s not for me’
‘I’m fine as I am’
‘I’m not good enough’ <— Ooooof
Which is when you just give up and go back to what was
comfortable (which will soon get dreary again)
OR
2) Focus on what needs to be done NOW
Forget about the 3 month target and just do what you
said you would do TODAY
That takes a teeny tiny amount of willpower (almost
negligible)
But it has a MASSIVE impact in what happens to your
thoughts
‘I did it’
‘That wasn’t so hard’
‘I can feel it working’
‘I’m glad I did it as I would have felt guilty’
^^^ Those are thoughts of success
And all it took was to just do this ONE THING today
It’s why the STRONG DAD program works
Cos it’s not just you who feels like this dude
EVERYONE does about something
I used to feel like this about exercise but now it’s
just something I do
I do get these thoughts about other stuff though (but
that’s cool… I just focus on what to do NOW)
The applications for STRONG DAD close THIS THURSDAY
So it’s time to work out what you want
Stay the same? (in which case do nothing)
Or do what needs to be done NOW
Stay STRONG
