May 05, 2021
If I would just feel a little bit more motivated and stick to it then I would get so much more done! I don't know what happen but I really should be able to get it done. I just need to focus harder. Have those thoughts crossed your mind? Well, you are not the only one.
Today I will share the most important step that you need to do before any project start or implementation of a habit.
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHY! Why is that project important to you? What is your deeper WHY for implementing this new habit?
How to find your deeper WHY:
-
Level 1 Ask yourself: "Why is this project/habit important to me?"
- Answer the question above: "This project/habit is important to me because 'A' (fill in your reason)."
-
Level 2 Then ask yourself: "Why is 'A' (your answer from above) important to you?
- Answer the question above: "'A' is important to me because 'B' (fill in your reason why A is important to you)."
-
Level 3 Then ask yourself: "Why is 'B' (your answer from above) important to you?
- Answer the question above: "'B' is important to me because C' (fill in your reason why B is important to you)."

Benefit #1 Helps You Feel More Motivated
Reminding yourself of your deeper WHY when you are struggling with motivation can be very powerful. Why? Because your deeper WHY means something to you, something to look forward to. Your brain will release the neurotransmitter dopamine which helps with motivation.
Benefit #2 Helps You Stay Focused
Write your WHY on a post it and put it up. It will remind you to stay on target...and yes the dopamine release plays a role in this as well.
Secret #3 Impact On Your Long Term Goals/Dreams
Knowing your WHYs for small goals/dreams will help you move faster forward to your long term dreams and goals.
If you don't know your future goals/dreams or missions, then thinking of your WHY for smaller projects/habits may get you warmed up to set long term goals/dreams that matter to you.
