#MindsetMonday - EP 9 - The Power of Boring

With only two episodes left, George Couros reflects on how choosing to do hard things can lead to long-term benefits. In this episode, Couros reflects on his own health journey and how he had allowed the easy things, like having treat meals, actually had a negative impact on his future. Couros relates doing the “hard thing” consistently, like creating content on a regular basis, can help us years down the line. This episode is a great reminder that starting those hard things today creates positive impacts sooner than if we put them off until the eternal “tomorrow.” Main Points: Choose your hard...things that you can do right now that are easy may create long-term consequences that lead to other difficulties. How do you see the journey while also looking at your long-term end goal? Are you willing to do the work consistently? Why is doing this hard thing consistently important to you? How do you make sure that your "treat" is not your norm? What is something that you can do daily that you know is good for you? What do you hope it will lead to 5 years from now?
