Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor and former governor, shared some thoughts on getting things done as we start the new year. He pointed out that while we might feel really motivated right now, that feeling might not stick around.
Schwarzenegger suggests building a routine instead. He says to stick to it, no matter what. And if you miss a day, don’t worry too much – just get back to it the next day. Showing up consistently is what really matters, he believes.
He had previously mentioned that relying only on motivation isn’t enough. Motivation can fade, which is why many people struggle to finish what they start, whether it’s a diet, exercise plan, or a new project.
According to Schwarzenegger, the key is to create a routine and keep going even when you don’t feel like it. It’s about pushing yourself, even on those days when you lack the drive. While he wishes there were an easier solution, he emphasizes that consistent effort is what leads to long-term success.
