Stop obsessing over goals. Start building habits
Build New Habits
A lot of people set massive goals thinking it’ll keep them motivated.
“I want to lose 10 kilo's"
But here’s the trap: when that goal feels too far away—or when life throws you a curveball—you fall off.
And then what comes next?
Guilt.
Negative self-talk.
That “I’ll never get there” voice in your head.
You quit. Not because you couldn’t do it—but because the finish line was too abstract to hold onto when discipline ran out.
But when you shift your focus to stacking habits instead of chasing outcomes, something powerful happens:
💥 You gain momentum.
💥 You build discipline.
💥 You stop waiting for motivation and start embodying a new identity.
The goal doesn’t change you—your habits do.
If you want to lose 10kg, start by walking every morning and eating one high-protein meal per day.
The identity comes after the reps.
Discipline isn’t natural—it’s trained.
I’ve lived both sides of this. I’ve set the giant goals. I’ve crashed and burned.
Now I focus on this:
✔ What’s the habit I can repeat no matter what?
✔ What’s the small thing I can win at today?
✔ Who am I becoming as a result?
The truth is—if you only feel powerful when you’re “making progress” toward a big milestone… you’ll constantly feel like you’re falling short.
But if you start measuring success by how consistent you are?
Everything changes.

You don’t need a deadline. You need a system.
You don’t need motivation. You need identity alignment. You don’t need a goal. You need habits.
