Key Questions Answered

• •Consistency over motivation: Bet on people who show up daily rather than those who rely on motivation, which fades like a sugar rush. Three workouts weekly for a year beats seven workouts weekly for one month then quitting.
• •Hundred day challenge: Select one single habit and commit to it for one hundred consecutive days with visual tracking. Missing one day is acceptable, but missing two consecutive days creates a new habit of inconsistency.
• •Action creates motivation: Psychological research shows motivation follows action, not the reverse. Starting movement generates endorphins and momentum, making continuation easier than the initial decision to begin taking action.
