Why Getting Back on Track After the Holidays Has Nothing to Do With Discipline
The holidays are always a strange time for most digital entrepreneurs and their business.
You want to participate in all the parties, the family time, and yes…
The treats.
But the trade-off is your routine gets thrown into the blender and it takes some time to get it back on track.
Here’s what I’ve realized after years of this cycle:
Getting realigned after the holidays is about working on 1 small thing that excites you.
It’s not about magically fixing your discipline and broken routine overnight.
I know what you’re thinking…
“This sounds nice, but excitement doesn’t solve my messy routine problem”.
And I get it.
But here’s the thing…
To get back on track, you need a behavioral trigger.
Some small action that gets the momentum rolling for you.
And the easiest one is an action you’re excited about.
It’s fuel for you right now.
And not only is it fuel, but it’s also a signal for alignment.
It’s much MUCH easier to get back on track by starting with something you genuinely enjoy doing.
Think of excitement as the gas that sets a habit into motion.
With little gas…
It won’t go far.
The reason I’m encouraging you to start small is simple,
It takes away the overwhelm of not knowing where to start.
And if you still need a little extra clarity on getting started…
Here’s a few actions you can take today to get more excited for the new year and getting back on track after the holidays than ever before:
3 Excitement Actions
1. Reconnect with your business
This is about taking a step back and looking at:
Then re-aligning them with YOU.
Without going deep on these… no amount of discipline or excitement will save you
2. Decide who you’re becoming
I’m not going to drown you with mindset/identity advice here,
What I mean is…
What type of person do you need to be in order to fulfill that purpose, mission, and build a business you love.
Get specific on the:
This person needs… and step into them right away.
3. You choose
If neither of those excite you right now, no problem.…
Pick something that does.
(I still recommend you do them at some point though)
Nobody knows what fires you up for your own business more than you.
And if you still can’t choose 1 thing that gets you excited to get you back on track…
It means you’re building the wrong thing.
So definitely do those 2 above.
This whole process of getting back on track is about intentional reentry.
My advice always:
Start where the energy already is.
