I just heard a great way of looking at how to stay focused from Darren Hardy. It’s called the Inversion Principle. Basically, the idea is by considering the negative situation, you can clarify your positive path to success.
If you’re looking to lose weight and eat healthy then you must identify your “foes” as well as your “don’t do’s” in order to stay true to your intention. And these “don’t do’s” may very well put you in a better position to attain your goal than what you “do.” Another words, not eating ice cream at night and highly processed food might serve you better than only focusing on eating healthy foods.
It’s the negative habits that hamstring us more at times than anything.
Couldn’t hurt.
