Why is it so hard to follow up on our new habits?One of the reasons is that the habit we're trying to form can seem a little overwhelming, so we have this mental resistance.In the beginning, when we're super motivated it's much easier to do something. For example; going to the gym for 1 hour doesn't seem that hard, because the initial motivation is a powerful driving force.But when we're motivated it's also easy to impose some super high expectations on ourselves.We think: "Ok, so I went to the gym for 1 hour the first few days. From now on I'll to go to the gym for 1 full hour every single day."But once that initial motivation fades away after a few days, there is now nothing that's driving us forward, and we haven't really formed a habit yet.That's why when we're unmotivated, we'll probably just skip gym altogether, as dedicating a whole hour to it seems daunting.So instead of relying on motivation to push us forward, we should focus on making our new habit, an actual habit.Let me explain what I mean, by introducing you to the 2 minute rule.Want to learn more about The 2 Minute Rule and habits in general?Then check out James Clear's book, "Atomic Habits".
