Many people think they lack motivation when what they lack is clarity. At the same time, a lot of people spend their entire lives waiting for the right time to improve.

It is fundamental to set a time and location.

What do I want?

Think of these two statements: “I will start exercising.”, When?

“Every week I will be in the gym of my neighborhood Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for one hour”.

 In the second statement, you have the will (behavior), the time, and the location. You don’t have to decide because you already have a plan. Simply follow your predetermined plan.

Another tip is to start your new behavior the first day of the week, month, or year. Act when your hope is higher. If you have hope, you have a reason to act. Make the new behavior, the act so obvious that with enough repetition, you will get used to it and change. Make it also so easy to follow that you will stick to it. How?

Exercise less but stick with the plan to make it a habit, even ten minutes are enough to form the new behavior and then scale it up, by increasing the time.

So, how do you start?

With clarity of your goal!
