Why is the goal to get better 1% everyday.

I have been using my routines for a month now and the results are in. I wanted to become a water drinker for awhile. I know it doesn’t sound hard, but it is for me because I absolutely hate water. It’s bland and I always had my mind on some other drink like coffee or something sugary. Obviously we know we need water, It’s an essential part of life. The goal I had was to try to drink a gallon a day, but it only lasted 3 days tops. I immediately went back to the drawing board to see how to stay motivated with this rourine.

I know the question you’re probably asking is, what’s so significant about water that I took the time to write a post about it?

Let me tell you, it wasn’t the act of drinking water, but how I could use it to start a routine.

I started off creating a goal that was to big for me to achieve. Trying to drink 1 gallon of water each day was huge task for someone who probably only drinks a glass. I was setting myself up for failure even before I started. I had to reevaluate what I had to do. Instead of thinking about how much water I wanted to drink per day I started to think how do I make it a habit to drink more.

I then made a routine for myself for every morning, I’ve been getting up throwing water on my face and drinking 16 0z first thing in the morning. I figured if I could just start my day drinking water It would start my day off with a successful task, and that can lead my day on a positive note. My 1% change can lead to bigger habits along the way.

Having a morning routine has not only made me successful drinking water, I actually noticed a difference in my overall performance for the day. It has started a chain reaction. Since I’d wake up, drink 16 oz of water, throw COLD water on my face I would take that success and continue to do more things I needed to get done like my mobility routine and meditation.

The point of this is that I made a marginal change, 1%, of my day and doing so has compounded in many areas of life.

I have took this approach to many different habits and routines in my live. Just simplifying a goal and completing that 1% everyday can creat great habits and will get you to that 100%. We ALL have the ability to reach our goals. We have to start small and meaningful first. I’m learning everyday how to become the best me and I hope the same goes with you!

As always keep getting in your reps. Amrap as many reps as possible.
