I can’t help it! I just find that as September begins I’m seeking some way to make this month count!
Yes, it’s probably the deeply ingrained back-to-school thing …. or maybe the old football season starts now mindset! But, somehow, September seems to set the tone for the rest of the year.
And too many of us get disappointed in September. How does that change?
Here’s just one simple and doable shift that changes that… THIS MONTH.
Decide to practice one, just one, completely new, or not-yet-mastered habit each day.
That’s right. Not a new goal. A new habit. Decide that each and every day for all of September you will practice one transformational habit.
A habit is something you “sow” every day through your time, energy and commitment. It’s defined “a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.”
Habits can include personal - self-leadership - things like
Get 8 hours of sleep
Drink 8 glasses of water each day
Journal each day
Do 50 sit-ups.
Run 2 miles
Meditate for 20 solid minutes at the beginning of the day. (That’s mine for the month)
Or professional
Make 10 outgoing calls each day
Meet with one client each day in person
Set a key goal at the start of each day
Become an expert in a key skill
Attend one growth oriented conference or retreat
The Bible is very much in favor of us growing good habits. … "A man reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7) In other words, your outcomes will be affected by what you practice.
Soooooo… what if? Just what if... You join me (and my 3X MasterMind) this month in choosing to do one linchpin habit each day for the month of September?
Which habit should you choose?
Pick one that can be the linchpin to other things …. your well-being… your progress.... your goal or even your dream.
Pick one that you know would make a 10x difference in your peace, your mindset, your productivity or even your purpose.
Write it down. Then, do it every day… and don’t give up!
My guess is this simple decision now.. with daily follow through may just be what makes September a transformational month for you!
And have an awesome weekend and month!
Jeff
