So it’s the first day of February 2017, how are those new year resolutions coming?

Like on a scale of 1 to 5, have you been taking small steps towards your desired goals?

It may not be the question you’d like to hear but it does require some self-reflection. I mean, let’s be honest, the fact that it’s already February is another reminder of how fast time flies.

So what are you going to do about it?

What’s your mindset going to be as the second month of the new year begins to unfold?

As I looked through my Facebook news feed a little after midnight, I came across the funniest quote:

I’ve decided that my 2017 is going to start February 1st…This was a free trial month

— Mayor Boss

I giggled to myself and, without a second thought, added the ‘Hahaha’ reaction to the post. But as I closed the tab and prepared for bed, I couldn’t help but acknowledge that this was a sign – a sign of procrastination disguised in humor.

Now I have a healthy respect for February, especially because it’s my birthday month (whoop whoop!). However, I’ve noticed that it’s also the month where the tone of the year becomes set in stone. For example, it’s when you continue to be consistent in going to the gym, or it’s when you start to make excuses about why you can take a break.

But why?

Well, I have a theory.

 

Turning Goals Into Habits

Have you ever heard that it takes 21 days to break a habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle?

It just so happens that February is smack dab in the middle of breaking the habit and creating the lifestyle. It’s the tipping point. It’s the point of your journey where your motivation to continue has to come from somewhere else. The honeymoon stage of your new year’s resolution is fading and the full weight of what it means to put in the work becomes vividly apparent.

But no need to fear! This part of your journey is also a beginning. It’s the beginning of discipline. It’s the development (or improvement) of work ethic. And all you need to help you through this season is two simple words, “I Will.”

‘I Will’ will save you from the mystical land of tomorrow.

‘I Will’ will put an end to your excuses and open the door to results.

‘I Will’ will make you become focused on the next step.

‘I Will’ will stop life from flying by.

‘I Will’ will defy the impossible.

So are you ready to approach February 2017 with the ‘I Will’ mindset?

What are you determined to do this February?
