1- Face The Fear and Do It Anyways-

There is more apprehension the older we get.  

Sure, there is always fear and anxiety, but is that fear keeping you from pursuing your fullest life? This is one of the ways to create momentum in life. 

Face The Fear And Do It Anyways

As you've followed along with me for some time, you know that fear doesn't always tell the whole truth. There is a host of lies within that fear. 

If you want to create momentum, then it begins with identifying the big fears, then, onto step 2… 

2- Create The Habit-

Whatever routine that you've created has probably hit some major obstacles. We often need to start over, re-fresh, and orchestrate a bullet-proof morning routine.

That's how it becomes a habit. Some say it takes 21 days to form a habit. Frankly, nobody knows because everyone is different and has different "why's."

What I can assure you is that the habits you create will result in massive momentum. Some of us are trying to remove something, while many are trying to build something. Know what it is exactly that you want and create a small daily morning routine that will create the habit. 

3- Eat The Frog-

In order to build mental toughness, we have to put ourselves in situations that stress us. Doing the things that you don't want to do.

It's wrong, because all you are doing is exhausting mental energy and delaying the inevitable; which is "that tough stuff is still waiting for you." 

The right way to get after it is to EAT THE FROG! Do the toughest thing 1st thing in the morning. That's how you create momentum.

Ask yourself, what is it that is important to me, that I DO NOT want to do.

Then, Start With That.

4- Check That Success Sauce-

Momentum simply means having good outcomes. It results in getting on a roll. Hence, we need to have successes as a powerful way to create momentum. 

Doing the tough stuff early in the day, even if we weren't perfect, means that we have already secured a win!

We build off of wins and thus need to recognize and appreciate the good things, the successes, no matter how small they are. That's why “make your bed” became a best selling book.  Success is the mental toughness sauce that is needed to fulfill the mission.

5- Just Keep Moving- 

Life shows us that if we just keep moving then a miracle happens. The miracle is our second wind!

We ALL get a second wind IF we don't quit. By continuing to show up, stand up, be counted, and keep pushing, you're giving yourself the best opportunity!

Seek opportunities to push yourself and struggle and comfort will follow.

When we welcome the challenge we will adopt a perspective and gratitude.

Comfort can't be sought before struggle. Ways to create momentum is through birthing opportunities and never giving up. 

It will take patience as well!
