Growth Instigators Hotline

Imagine driving down a calm road on a sunny Sunday afternoon.  No cares in the world.  The windows are down and the breeze is just the right temperature.  Suddenly a dog wanders into the road and you slam on your brakes.  Luckily, because of your quick reaction skills you stop… just in time to avoid hitting the furry little guy.  Unfortunately the person behind you isn’t as agile as you.  They slam into your read bumper.  Whip lash.  Whip lash.  Ouch.  Whip lash! 

Thank you for calling GIH where we instigate growth one call at a time where we utilize antiquated technology to deliver 3-minute leadership lessons every day of the week!  This is message #122 and I am Aaron Havens.

Let’s talk about how we can avoid whip lash!  And to be clear… the furry brake slamming car slamming into the back of your car kind of whip lash is not the whip lash I’m talking about.

The whip lash that is in our life… the kind that is completely avoidable by being just slightly proactive.

What time should I get up
Should I hit snooze
Should I go to the bathroom
Should I take a shower
What should I wear
Should I watch this instagram
Should I go to the gym
What should I wear when I go to the gym
What time should I go to the gym
Should I do a pre-workout shake
Should I drink it at home, in the car, in the gym.
Leg day?  Arm day?  Cardio……
Whew…. On and on and on. 

Our head on a swivel, trying to make decisions every three second.
Think of all the used up calories spent before 8 am.  What a waste of time and energy that could have been decided ahead of time.

Today.  What are some easy decisions you can make to make tomorrow a little less “whip lash…eee”?  You know what I’m saying?  Tonight, I’ve packed my workout gear and it’s in my car ready for me in the morning.  DONE.  No thought needed.

What is something you find yourself trying to decide every single day that you can set up as a protocol.  If you lay your clothes out and your coffee mug is ready and your car is filled up… those decisions are MADE!  Just go with the flow!

Thanks for calling in today.  Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic!  After the beep:

Pick 5 things that you can do today to set up tomorrow to be less of a whip lash.
