[Music]
welcome back to the channel everybody my
name's artie and this
is the moving average the week has come
to an end so you guys know what time it
is
let's get into focus fridays if you guys
are unfamiliar with the show
every friday i like to drop some
motivation and inspiration for you guys
to help you progressing on a daily basis
get your life
in a better position than you were
yesterday and in this video i want to
talk about consistency and actually
committing to it if you're trying to
form a new habit in your life
and you want to better yourself you have
to commit
to actually being consistent with it i
wake up every single day
at 5am that is my ritual that is my
routine
and even on weekends when i can sleep in
my body naturally wakes up
at like 5 15 and i feel like
rested because i'm consistent with my
schedule i have friends that say oh i'd
love to wake up at five and start doing
things
and then they wake up at 5am once and
they're super productive and they love
it
but then the next day they don't and
then the next day they don't and then it
turns
back into their old routine so they
thought that they committed
to waking up early to better their lives
or to be more productive in their day
but it only lasted for one day it's the
same thing if you're quitting smoking
you quit for one day and then you go
back the next day
you need to commit to a schedule and you
can't make that schedule
so ridiculous that you're not willing to
commit to it or it's too difficult like
waking up at five
is not easy for the normal person if
they're used to waking up
at nine so start with the baby steps
start waking up at eight then start
waking up at seven
then six then eventually you'll get to
five you need to progress
into something that's such a massive
change in your life the reason i'm
talking about this
is because i get hundreds of dms from
people
saying hey i've been back testing this
strategy and i've been trading for
a week and it's just not working maybe
trading is not for me
and if you're doing something for a week
you're not going to learn it
you're not going to be good at it it's
not going to be consistent you're going
to be making emotional decisions there's
so many things that comes into
forming a new habit and getting good at
it
you need 21 days to form
a habit minimum and this is just like a
psychological barrier that you need to
break through
once you start doing something for
enough time
then it becomes habit some people it's
21 days some people it's six
months but if you commit to something
and you stay consistent with it
whether it's day trading whether it's
physical fitness
whether it's being more productive and
waking up early
even if you're quitting smoking if you
can set up a structure in your life to
where you can work on it every single
day and be consistent and track it
whether it's through your notes on your
phone or an
excel spreadsheet or a whiteboard you
have hanging on your refrigerator
these are the things that you need to do
in order to be consistent
being consistent isn't easy it's a
hard process you need to be disciplined
you need to be strict with yourself
if you want to make meaningful change in
your life if you want to create
better habits you need to focus on the
things that you want to improve about
yourself
we all have things within us about us
that we don't like or have room for
improvement
you need to really step back and
re-evaluate and
self-evaluate and see where you can
improve in your life the things that you
would like to be more consistent on
the better habits that you would like to
have once you do that
and you re-evaluate yourself you do an
assessment on yourself
then you can see okay this needs to
change i'm going to do this one thing
and then i'll work on the other things
you want to start with
baby steps people you want to get
consistent
and you want it to form into a habit you
need to start with
one work on that and if you're able to
complete that and form a new habit in
the next six months or the next year or
the next month
whatever your time frame is set the goal
to make that habit but if you don't
hit your goal don't worry you're still
better than you were
before don't get discouraged and say oh
i didn't finish it this isn't worth my
time
you are an improvement upon your
previous self you are now version 2.2
instead of version 1.0 in life there are
always things about our personality that
are either
learned through social conditioning or
the behavior of others around us
this is just the world that we live in
we are influenced by our friends we are
influenced
by our family but you personally you
get to make the decision whether you
want to be a better person
going forward or if you want to stay
where you are
right now i like the progression in life
makes me happier i really hope this
video spoke to some of you and i really
hope that some of you take the
initiative to be more consistent
and form better and new habits in your
life if you guys want to learn more
