As we know from psychology, motivation is not “just there” and then causes activity, but just the other way round. Taking action CREATES motivation! With “moving the needle’, I want to say: sometimes, motivation develops a life of its own with unexpected, positive results… 🙂 See also my “Lifestyle Definition” …
I’ve developed this habit of moving at least 30 minutes per day, in summer outside, in winter in a gym. Always prior to work, early in the morning.
As a business guy, of course I had to set a target for 2019 and break it down into quarters and months… 😉
In January I was able to over-achieve my monthly target as I really wanted to have a head start into 2019… 🙂
Last Saturday, Feb 23rd, my thinking was: 90% of my “already stretched monthly target” by Monday would be something! 🙂
To “keep the opportunity alive” I went Sunday morning as well and achieved the 90% by Monday, HURRAY 🙂
BUT: there was another challenge (or motivation 🙂 ): February is three days shorter than January, but hey, wouldn’t it be super cool to exceed January anyway? 😉
The picture above was taken on the way to the gym on Tuesday and was definitely motivating, so I did more than my minimum that day…
This morning , I achieved MORE than the January result and with THREE DAYS LESS, Yes!… 🙂
AND, as a Digital Executive I’m so used to thinking BIG 🙂 : 33% of yearly target in Q1 would definitely be something….We’ll see…
Stay tuned….
