Stagnation in this life is death.

8 Reasons Why You're Struggling To Improve & How To Fix Them

1. You're not scaling

You've never been a gym person.
So why is your first step going to the gym 5 days a week?

Start small:
→ Walk 2x / week
→ 10 push-ups everyday

Then Jog 3x / week
Lift 3x / week
Lift 5x / week

It's not a one-round fight; scale to your endgame.

2. You're relying on motivation

Your brain is efficient; motivation isn't.

Conserve energy & stack your desired behavior.

→ Hit the gym after class
→ Read 10 pages after you brush your teeth

Don't be like me: walking across campus on cold mornings to lift.

3. You don't have a quality system

Your direction =/= Your endgame
Your actions. Routine. Lifestyle. Are all lacking.

Your average day should point you in the right direction.
Not your best day.

Create a plan of action. Implement. Adjust. Improve.

3a. You don't have a quality system

To create the right ingredients:

- Actions
- Mindset
- Routine

Work inverse.

"What's my goal?"
→ What behaviors could get in my way?
→ How could my mindset affect my effort?

THEN DO THE OPPOSITE.
