I know you..

You’re slammed with work, maybe the kids woke you up at 2am, you’re good friend’s pet ran away.. OR the wind is blowing from the northeast.

Whatever it is, you’re just not feeling it.

Zero energy. 

Zero motivation. 

Zero willpower. 

It’s just one of “those” days.

We all have those days. Even me.

So how do I handle “those” days to stay on track with my goals?

I set non-negotiable

What do I mean by this?  

I create a goal

Then a list of non-negotiables to get me to the goal.

A non-negotiable becomes part of my routine.

It’s like brushing your teeth. 

You don’t have to be motivated to do it. 

You just do it. 

You do not contemplate it, it’s just part of your routine.

Will everyones non-negotiables will be different?

Hell yes!

Some may even be flexible, and that’s ok.

For instance, a non-negotiable for you may be hitting the gym out at least 3 days a week. More is great, but you have to hit at least 3, and it doesn’t matter which days. 

Yes, it’s great to have a set routine, but life doesn’t always work that way. 

Maybe your Tuesday is packed, and you  honestly can’t find time to get to the gym. No big deal, you move that workout to Wednesday..or if  Sunday is your off day,  you swap days.

Think of it as a deadline.

 If you have a project at work to get done - you usually have a deadline.  Without a deadline, you may get it done, or you may forget entirely. 

But if you have a deadline to do it before Friday, there’s no contemplating if you want to do it. You don’t need motivation.

It’s non-negotiable. 

You have to get it done, and so you do.

So make your GOAL, then set a list of non-negotiables to support it!
