Day 29: 1 Bad Habit I Used To Have — And How I Broke It

I used to be bad with goal setting. It’s a challenge I’ve had for years and, if I’m being totally honest, probably decades. Whenever I would be asked what my 10-year plan was, or vision, or goals or BHAG (big hairy audacious goal), I would inevitably make up something that ‘sounded’ lofty and ambitious.

But without an actionable plan on how to get there, I would inevitably fall short and get discouraged. So what changed?

What Gets Measured Gets Managed

Everything changed as soon as I began to put my focus on my why. I became more consistent with my meditation and journaling, which always help to clear my mind. Additionally, this recent uptick in my writing has provided additional clarity.

My intention is now on continuous daily improvement with an eye towards my long-term goals. I’m really fascinated by this idea of tiny, daily, 1% improvements. Am I perfectly diligent and track every metric down on a daily level? No, not by any means. But that is the intention.

Wherever you are in your life journey, it’s never too late to sit down and take a close look at your life now and where you want it to be. Ask yourself those tough questions and take charge of your life today!
