Simplest Way To Stay Consistent In Fitness

When it comes to getting fit, I know like how important it is, especially when it comes to performance and productivity. So one thing that really worked for me is, especially when I'm working with my teams or just with my own personal development journey, I've noticed that when you try to make a promise that I'm gonna work out every day for 1 hour for the whole year, that entire, just the feeling of working out every single day feels very overwhelming and tough. You know, it feels like you can't commit to it. And then there comes a day when you kind of gave up on that and you're hard on yourself. So I think something that I've kind of reframed in my mind is every time when I wake up, I have a tattoo on my hand actually that says Kyuudakeba in Japanese, which means just for today. And you just ask yourself, just for today, what do I need to do for myself? So just for today, get one workout in. Just for today, get 15 minutes of meditation in, right? So just for today, what can you do to put yourself on the best course of action for your growth?

Lovely. I like that. Did you understand that Japanese? Yes. Okay. But yeah, so you know what I love? This is one of my favorite words of 2024 after intention. Reframe. We'll talk about that later. What I do is that I put a reward for myself, right? So if you're having trouble with doing anything, start with a reward. Like, for example, for me, table tennis is therapy. I'll go to the gym first, play table tennis, and then— so I'll get up for table tennis and I'll then go to the gym. So the first thing has to be fun. I mean, it's not torture. So whatever you put in your diet or whatever, the first thing can be fun and you can sort of hack your way around it. But that's a good one.
