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

“Effectiveness requires an appreciation for monotony and routine.”

This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.

A lot of people say things like, "I hate monotony" or "I hate routines."

The challenge with such an identity is that it establishes a fixed mindset about one's abilities; what one can achieve.

The art of enjoying monotony and routine is an essential principle for success.

Try to imagine a masterful painter, pianist, or bodybuilder who doesn't appreciate the value of practice.

Consider the monotony of bodybuilding or training for a marathon. Each demand tedious, monotonous, and routine efforts; which become the path to betterment.

In the natural world, nothing remains static or fixed for too long. Letting go of a fixed, deleterious story about monotony and routine will lead to growth.

Learn to welcome and appreciate the value of routine and monotony as much as variety and surprise.

"Everyone faces the same challenge; aligning their willpower with their volition. The good news is that by following P.A.R.R. they also develop discipline."

This Habits 2 Goals premium episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.

Five plus years and 500+ Habits 2 Goals episodes later, a single, common theme reveals itself; the significance of habit tracking.

Behavioral scientists used to say things like, "habit trackers don't work."

They were semi-correct; they do not work when they are not used.

When a person tracks their behaviors and follows the P.A.R.R. methodology (Plan, Act, Record & Reassess), they will experience tremendous success.

By habit-tracking the 'right' way, they gain positive momentum and feel better about themselves. All because they have aligned their behaviors with their volition.

Some people still say things like, "Life is meant for living, not tracking?"

The truth is, one can, and should, do both. They should live and track. When your goals are important, it's time to start habit tracking.

“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.” ~The Dalai Lama

This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.

It finally dawns on me that along with ANY worthwhile goal one chooses to pursue, pain and suffering are part of the “package.” Each is preloaded – like software – with every worthwhile goal and ideal.

For instance, if you want to be a great mother, you can rest assured there will be pain and suffering.

If you want to become a lawyer, there will be pain and suffering.

If you want to become a great gymnast, a chess or surf champ, there will be pain and suffering.

Do you want to have the perfect spouse? Brace yourself; there will be pain and suffering.

Why is this worth mentioning? Since pain and suffering are inescapable, it’s imperative to pursue goals you are obsessed with and passionate about. Otherwise, you'll quit.

“It's impossible to be grateful when you're complaining.”

This Habits 2 Goals premium episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.

Do you notice how often you complain to yourself and others?

Have you ever tallied the total number of complaints in a day?

Are you aware of how often you complain about "things" and "events" large and small?

Complaining is a topic that was covered back in June of 2020. Once again, MG decides to address the subtle and disruptive habit.

The first day he decides to tally his complaints, he notices the first complaint even before getting out of bed.

Then, just fifteen minutes into the morning, he's already tallied three complaints.

Why does this matter? Who cares? Complaining can be fun, right?

Well, it's tough to be grateful when you are complaining.

If you're a parent, how do you feel when your child complains? Are you interested in rewarding that behavior?

Without putting awareness around the daily habit, most people won't ever know how often they complain.

They may never know how badly it's impacting their attitude or even their relationships.

The good news is, like any habit, by adding some awareness, tracking, and practice the complaining habit can be minimized if not removed entirely.

Starting – moving down a path that proves you are willing to align your willpower to your volition.

“The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti.

This is a Habits 2 Goals premium episode FREE for ALL subscribers.

Do you know what “the great convergence” really is?

It is not how technology globalized humanity. 

Not really. “The great convergence,” that I’m referring to semi-jokingly is the key to the universe. 

Your universe.

It’s tough to be effective and to feel good about yourself if you cannot align your volition with your willpower.

When you do, many benefits arise:

You'll overcome obstacles more effectively, and create new, positive habits easier. You’ll even develop self-discipline and be more likely to achieve long-term goals.

All because you can align your behaviors with your volition.

You’ll even improve your resilience!

“The COO or the second in command tends to be strong with people issues. They're strong at getting collaboration, strong at getting consensus, strong in planning, and strong in seeing the moving parts. They understand the functional areas well. Yet, they aren't strong enough to be an expert in any particular domain.”

“Once she arrived at her ideal destination – her goal – she realized it wasn’t what she wanted after all.”

A young lady recently confessed that she felt “almost lost” and lacked motivation.

Ironically, she felt that way after reaching an important goal.

It turns out, she lacked motivation for two reasons.

First, the goal’s reality didn’t match expectations.

Second, she was struggling to identify what she wanted to pursue next.

She found it difficult to get clear on her next ideal outcome – goal.

Further, she wanted some assurance that her next goal would be more rewarding.

Moving forward, she agreed that she’d:

1) Accept that there are no guarantees in the pursuit of any goal.  

2) Appreciate how each “wrong” turn provided new information and guidance.

3) Forgive herself rather than beat herself up for "wasting time.”

With a new perspective, it was easy to notice how her lack of motivation sprung from her inability to become clear on a new exciting new goal.
