Are you sitting there telling yourself rational lies? What if\u2014instead of waiting\u2014you committed to small changes now? Focus on what you want to BE, what you want to DO, and what you want to HAVE. In this episode of Both on Board, we talk about how we have committed to daily rituals and how it\u2019s changed us\u2014and can change you, too. Highlights From Our Conversation [0:45] How we\u2019re preparing for 2020 [3:35] What are the things I want to BE\/DO\/HAVE? [8:00] Do you have gray areas in your life?

[40:20] Don\u2019t let your willpower wane [43:15] What\u2019s coming up for Both on Board Do you have gray areas in your life? We all have something we want to commit to and improve, right? People seem to expect that when the new year comes around they will magically be able to commit to resolutions they couldn\u2019t keep the entire previous year.  You have the power to take responsibility for your choices. You need to get to a place where you have a strong foundation to build off of.  Are there gray areas that you\u2019re avoiding?  It\u2019s time to shine a light on the areas that are in the gray. Are you living in alignment with where your soul knows it should be? You need to move out of the gray areas and back to joy.  What daily ritual can you implement? Start working on those gray areas now by implementing a small daily ritual that you can learn to keep consistently. It takes approximately 68 days for something to become a habit. Start small, such as working out once a day. Get up early, make your bed, or drink more water. Start early in the morning because your willpower wanes throughout the day.  As you start to successfully continue that habit, you build success on success. If you\u2019re struggling, find a way to get your spouse on board. Fill them in on your goals and allow them to keep you accountable. Maybe your spouse will dive in with you! After all, you\u2019ll do more for someone else than you\u2019ll do for yourself. Work hard to find a middle ground of accountability and support.  There is power in commitment. Grant Cardone says \u201cCommit first and figure the rest out later\u201d. Are you ready to commit to implementing one small change? What are the \u2018big rocks\u2019 you will schedule around? Are you aware of what happens every day? Do you know where your time is going? How much time are you wasting? When we were doing 75Hard, we cultivated an awareness of where our time was being spent and learned something valuable: You will always have time for the things you prioritize.  Are your goals important enough that you\u2019re prioritizing them daily? Your non-negotiables should be your core commitments that you schedule first\u2014the rocks. Things that you want to do are the tiny pebbles or sand that are filtered in and fit around the rocks. When you\u2019re saying you don\u2019t have time for something important, you\u2019re prioritizing something that\u2019s not. What 3-5 things are your priorities? Take some time to think through what those are, and schedule them into your next week. Let everything else filter around them, and you\u2019ll be amazed. Commit to change NOW What is taking up mental space and energy? What is robbing your peace? It is there for you to address it. Stop making things more difficult than they need to be. Show up as the person you want to be now. Not next week, not in 2020, but now. The more responsibility you take, the more power you get back. And there is power in commitment.  Where can you challenge yourself with starting today?
