Can you believe that the month of January, 2019 is almost over?
It’s like yesterday was New Years!
We’ve all made 2019 intentions but did you stick to them? Thats the real question!
Many people say, but not many do! This drives me crazy. I’d rather you say you’ve done something, once you’ve actually did it (evidence). What you are going to do doesn’t count, until you do it.
ACTION OVER INTENTION!!
I’m sure we are guilty of this but this is one of the biggest traps in our mind. If you say something, you must do ( this is my big 2019 goal that I am working towards). It’s harder than you think because there are always challenging obstacles that get in the way #reallife.
Anyways… I wanted to ask you if you have been accountable for what you wanted to do so far in 2019. We have surpassed 21 days of attaining our goals (small or big) in 2019 and see if you’ve finally created a “HABIT” for yourself to keep going. As we all know it takes 21 days to get into the habit/ routine of things!Reminder I’m just checking in…
It’s never too late to start NOW but make sure you have someone close who can keep you accountable.

Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits.

How in shape or out of shape you are? A result of your habits.
How happy or unhappy you are? A result of your habits.
How successful or unsuccessful you are? A result of your habits.
What you repeatedly do (i.e. what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray.
But what if you want to improve? What if you want to form new habits? How would you go about it?
Turns out, there’s a helpful framework that can make it easier to stick to new habits so that you can improve your health, your work, and your life in general.
