how do you commit to things?

[Kaido]

I've had a hard time in the past committing to things. I want to do things like start a regular workout routine. So how do you guys commit, really commit, to doing something?

 

[spaceman]

DO IT!

When I start something I always............. whatever.

Need a partner. Then you feel guilty if you don't go b/c he doesn't go and vice versa.

written goals shown to someone else ... accountability is where it is at.

Pretty much my approach. Don't think about it so much, just go out and do what you said you were going to do.

You just have to sack up and do it, dont think about it because possible excuses fill your head.

I've heard it takes 21 days. Consistant effort every day, you get the habit.

...the hard part is not quitting after the first three days 😉

It's a bootstrap thing, like computers and faith.

I used to have trouble going to the gym for anything more than 3 months. Then I just MADE myself go, simple as that. Now I feel weird if I have to miss a session 🙂

just think, in 60 years, you'll probably be dead, and you'll remain dead for eternity... so you'd better make the most of your life, and just DO IT
