Follow the leader
Today is day 25 of the 30 day challenge.
Who is the person who inspires you the most when you think of your new habit?
Perhaps it’s someone who has already included your habit consistently in their own life. Perhaps it’s someone who has overcome some kind of adversity or someone who holds a particular outlook on life.
Rely on that person to be your role model as you continue to build consistency in your routine. If it’s someone you know, ask what success strategies they use.
If it’s someone who you don’t know personally, imagine what advice they might give you. See if they have a website or read their book. Look for a tidbit of wisdom that can become part of your visual reminder or affirmation.
You don’t have to re-invent the wheel. It’s okay to follow the leader.
Tune in tomorrow and recommit.
My inspiration for developing an exercise program has been based on an ongoing series of articles that appears in the Body & Health section of the Edmonton Journal every Monday. Back in August there was an article about an 88 year old Leduc woman who developed a 30 minute home-based exercise routine that she’s been doing every day since her 50’s! I thought WOW, if she can do that, then I can too! It took me this challenge to actually get started, but I’m now on the path.
