#29: GETTING TO GRIPS WITH WHAT YOU WANT

This week's coaching session focused on cutting through the noise of fleeting motivation and drilling into what really drives long-term progress: activation energy, consistent action, and building a stack of undeniable proof that you're becoming who you want to be.

🔑 Key Lessons:

  1. Motivation is unreliable
    Motivation feels good, but it fades. When it goes, only your deeper "why" and daily habits will get you out of bed or to the gym.

  2. Fall in love with the process, not just the result
    If you’re obsessed with the outcome but unwilling to live the lifestyle needed to get there, you’ll burn out or never start. You must want the becoming, not just the achievement.

  3. Lower the bar to build momentum
    Start small. Remove the unnecessary 3pm snack. Get a walk in. Nail one healthy meal. Hit a 15-min workout. Each win is a brick in your "undeniable proof" wall.

  4. Avoid perfection – focus on consistency
    If you aim for perfection and miss, it leads to guilt, overwhelm, and quitting. Do the basics well and stack consistency over time.

  5. Don't wait for the perfect moment
    The idea that you'll be "super focused" one day is a trap. Start with what you’ve got, where you are. Stop waiting, start doing.

  6. Pain of change vs. pain of staying the same
    You’ll only take action when the discomfort of your current situation outweighs the fear or difficulty of change.

  7. Life-proof your mindset
    Resilience isn’t about medals or events. It's about being able to respond well when things go wrong — illness, loss, challenge. And yes, that starts with cold showers and showing up for yourself daily.

  8. Build your identity through action
    Every time you follow through — workout, food choice, early bedtime — you vote for the person you're becoming. Identity follows action.

  9. Do hard things — regularly
    Hard workouts, cold water, training on tough days. These build grit and capability, and help prepare you for life’s curveballs.

  10. You don’t need a fancy plan — just execution
    15-minute workouts. One obscenely healthy meal. An earlier bedtime. A dog walk without your phone. You already know what to do.

🚀 Weekly Task:

Ask yourself: Are you in love with the idea of change, or the process of it?

Then choose one habit to stack your next piece of undeniable proof:

  • One healthy meal

  • One 15-minute training session

  • One phone-free walk

  • One action that proves: “I am becoming who I want to be.”
