1% better.
Ask yourself: How can I be 1% better today than yesterday?
Have you ever tried to introduce new habits only to give up after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month?
You know what you need to do but you just can’t seem to stick to it.
What tends to happen when you are wanting to make improvements is that your paradigms (habits, beliefs and behaviour) kicks in and you go back to your old habits. 96% of your behaviour is habitual.
Your old beliefs, conditionings and behaviours take over and you end up on autopilot and right back where you started.
When you want to change the results, these old habits keep you stuck.
This is why personal development is so important in business and work. How you do one thing is how you do everything. Quite often I will be working with a business on bringing more money into their business or creating more time work balance. It always goes back to mindset and what is under the bonnet of the minds that is either creating success in business or sabotaging it. The key is to focus on 1 or 2 habits at a time and create a desire that will override your excuses.
When you make a decision to focus on being consistently 1% better every day, be it in your health your relationships your business, your work, your family, how you treat yourself, how you show up every day, your standard for yourself will raise in all areas of your life.
A great idea is to put this as a reminder on your phone every 3 to 4 hours to check in with how you are going and have 1% coming up as the reminder. This will bring your awareness to where your focus is – are you on autopilot or are you being 1% better?
It really comes down to attitude.
How can you be 1% better today in order to raise your standards and change your results?
You need to do something different to what you are doing today and commit to improving.
It is the little things that you do every day consistently that will create the change in your results.
It is doing small things in a great way.
