Stagnation in this life is death.
8 Reasons Why You're Struggling To Improve & How To Fix Them
(#3 is a game changer)

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.
