Purple Patch Podcast 149 Staying Power - Creating and Cementing Habit Change
Matt lays down a solid foundation on STAYING POWER - creating and cementing performance habits, especially in the popular areas of nutrition and strength.
First, though, we must differentiate between a habit and a resolution.
-
A habit is something that stays with you - becomes a part of you -- for the long-term.
-
A resolution, conversely, is quite often a self-imposed intervention and reeks of unsustainability. These are often pass/fail short term fixes with very little chance of success.
Matt anchors this timely discussion around two always-popular topics of performance: strength training and nutrition. How do you go about making a long-lasting change without falling into short-term, pass/fail traps?
Here are some of the tips that Matt breaks down in detail.
-
Share the journey (for accountability)
-
Focus on the process, not the outcome
-
Seek mini-victories
-
Draw from the lessons of 2020
Habit formation.
It should feel like a small change, a small step. But it will be a step that makes a mighty echo across your performance spectrum.
