When I’m on the last rep, of my last set of my workout of the day & I feel like giving up, I tell myself these 3 words. When I’m hitting mile 6.9 of the 7 miles I went out to run and my legs don’t feel like they have much left in them, I tell myself these 3 words. When I’m editing a podcast late in the evening after a long day of work & I just want to snuggle up & bed and pass out, I tell myself these 3 words.   GO ONE MORE!   What defines us as humans is our ability to tune out the voice in our head that is telling us to give up & toss in the towel. What defines us as humans is our ability to push ourselves to the edge of our comfort zone… to the place we’ve never been before. What defines us as humans is our ability to go one more even when we don’t FEEL we have the juice inside us.     Topics : “Go One More” mindset inspired by Nick Bare Why we should live by this : To help us reach our ultimate inner potential How do we do that? (1) We Become Our Biggest Hype man / Hype Woman : We recognize it’s OUR responsibility to cheer ourselves on even when NOBODY is on the side lines rooting for us (2) We Push Ourselves To The Edge : The unimaginable becomes our norm by us pushing our inner potential further and further (3) We Appreciate The Growth : We use the progress we’ve made thus far as fuel to the fire inside us Question from The BMC Sagar : How do you get yourself to work / concentrate when there’s external problems such as family, financial, relationship problems?   Got a topic / question you want me to cover?

Is there a new habit you’ve been trying to implement but you aren’t seeing the progress you’d hope for? Maybe a new years resolution to workout more, eat a cleaner diet, start that passion project you’ve always wanted to start? I think we all understand that NONE of our goals are going to happen overnight but yet from us consistency showing up over a short, medium or long period of time depending on the goal. Today I’m introducing you to The Two Day Rule. This rule is going to help you stay accountable AND help you make progress!!   Topics : “I’ve trained myself to take the long view, about how important it is to stay focused on your goals rather than getting hung up on the daily ups & downs” - Barack Obama Discipline is my middle name Our goals are unachievable / unattainable without this secret sauce The Two Day Rule Concept : We may miss, skip or take a day off but we may NEVER miss back to back days Lessons from implementing this rule into my life : (1) Small Wins Are Rocket Fuel : By focusing on what I can do TODAY, it’s easier for me to show up to do the actual work (2) Pick Up Where You Left Off : Giving ourselves the ability to take a day off when needed allows us to take rest when it’s necessary & not feel guilty about it (3) Remind Yourself Of Where You Started : Seeing how much progress we’ve made since we started gives us an extra boost of confidence that we DO have what it takes “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” - Bill Gates Challenge for the listeners : Tag me on your IG story @Bobbbaaaay & let me know how you plan to use the two day rule Questions from The BMC Kristopher Avilla : How to regain motivation? Lloyd Dorward : How to stay focused while working from home Momma Hobert : How do you stay so positive & focused?   Got a topic / question you want me to cover?
