“ The most important thing you can do to achieve your goal is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum.” - Tony Robbins
Common Barriers.
Have you ever hesitated to take action and ended up stuck in a rut not knowing what to do? There are some common reasons why this happens. Momentum can’t happen until we start taking action.
When we avoid taking action it’s often because we have created resistance in our own mind. We have convinced ourselves that what we want to do is exceedingly difficult. But is that really true or is it just an avoidance technique?
Create Momentum, Create Confidence.
Sometimes we are waiting for some kind of sign to indicate that it’s okay to move forward. We might be waiting until we feel more confident because we don’t really feel up to the challenge.
Or we could be thinking that if we just wait a while those obstacles will disappear, and our goals will be easier to achieve.
Try to make exercise fun and you will enjoy it, and probably look forward to it rather than thinking of it as a chore. The longer we wait to act, the harder it is to get started and build momentum.
Circumstances will never be perfect and waiting until they are is the same as going nowhere. The truth is, it will probably never get any easier to move forward and every moment that we hold back will just make things worse and prolong the process.
“ Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.” – Wayne Gretzky
Momentum Is One Of Those Rare, Self–Perpetuating Phenomena.
That’s what makes it so powerful. The perfect example of momentum is a snowball rolling down a snow-covered mountain. What happens? It grows and picks up speed along the way, right? But how can you use this power to achieve your goals and start living the life the way you want? Instead of getting bogged down by excuses, try to create some momentum as soon as possible. And really, this is not something that is all that difficult to do.
That giant, fast moving snowball started out small and slow. The reason it grew was because it kept moving. We don’t always need to launch into action, but we do need to start moving and to keep moving so we can create some momentum.
Taking consistent action toward your goals is the best way to build momentum. That means that taking action will get easier and easier as you go along. Eventually the actions you take will require much less effort.
You’ll begin to enjoy your activities because you’ll feel more empowered and confident, and you’ll have momentum on your side. Once you have some momentum, it is much easier to slightly change direction as needed.
