Why You Need a Pre-Game Routine
If you’ve been paying attention at all to the world of personal development/improvement over the past few decades, you have no doubt heard about the importance of routines. If you have not (either been paying attention or somehow just missed this concept), I will bring you up to speed quickly.
Success can not be had without routines. There…now you’re caught up. :)
Success is all about moving forward consistently. It’s about not stopping; not quitting. But being a normal human being isn’t always conducive to doing that. Some days, it’s downright counterintuitive.
All of us have some days when we’re driven and motivated, and other days when we choose to stay in our pajamas, flip through social media, and eat Cheetos all day.
No judgement, just awareness.
That’s why having routines is so important.
A routine is what keeps us going (even when we don’t feel like doing anything), keeps us on task (even when we are unmotivated), and makes sure that we move closer and closer to our goals, a little bit at a time (even when we are on our couch covered in Cheetos dust).
While having a daily routine helps to keep you moving forward, there is another kind of routine that can help you conquer those situations that tend to trip you up or trigger stress…
