S5: 41: Counting Habits 2 Goals: The Habit Factor® Podcast with Martin Grunburg

- Self-Improvement
"I don't count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count." ~ Muhammad Ali
This special Mind Bullet Wednesday episode discusses a simple yet powerful concept: Counting. Mentally or physically fatigued? Talk yourself into a little bit more.
It may not seem like a BIG idea, but counting is a an under rated tool that can yield huge benefits and help you breakthrough, both physically and mentally.
At the gym, when you're trying to talk yourself into another set, you can tell yourself "just do three more," or "just do five more." And when you reach that small goal you can sell yourself on more and more. We often sell ourselves way short of what we're capable of!
It's not just a tool for exercise; it's a helpful as a productivity method. Challenge yourself to focus on one task for 30 minutes, distraction-free. Can you do 10 more minutes? 20?
Counting helps you not just raise the bar; it helps you get started and pushes you into your second (or third, or eighth) wind!
Listen in for more on how counting can help you push through both physically and mentally and how it's all ingrained in the Habit Factor methodology and PARR!
Enjoy!
