MESSAGE #509 ARE YOU ON AUTOPILOT?
What is the first thing you do in the morning?
What is the last thing you do at night?
I would bet a large amount of money that it is almost always the same thing. We are habit-forming creatures. Most of what we do is automatic – unconscious.
When we are just going through the motions, we take things for granted, limit our improvement, and experience less satisfaction. How often do you have the same practice sessions?
I see people train the same way every single day. They can probably do it in their sleep.
This is not good.
What can you do?
Do one new or different thing in every activity you do, whether it’s practicing your sport of instrument, studying, working, or spending time with friends/family.
Put the fork in your left hand when eating (if you are right-handed) or when someone asks how you are doing, tell them honestly, instead of the normal, “Good.”
In other words…
STAY CONSCIOUS!
Thanks for reading.
