It\u2019s a given fact that we all want to build habits, goals that we want to achieve, and things that we want to change in our lives. However, on the other side of the coin, it can be hard to sustain motivation and consistency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It can block your way, sometimes completely, and then you walk away, probably thinking bad of yourself. But, is that a solution? Is that really something you think you should just accept (and probably experience the same when you move onto the next thing)?<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not. Yes, sometimes it\u2019s good to walk away for a while to clarify your thoughts and maybe it will reignite some motivation<\/a>. But when you again take the leap, having high and big expectations, you will fall into that same trap once again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where you have to realize that it\u2019s small you need to think. Don\u2019t let it fool you when I say small, because it will give you incredible results if you apply this secret. And that is the 2-Minute Rule.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breaking Down the 2-Minute Rule<\/b><\/h4>\n

In The 2 Minute Rule, it is stated that when you start a new habit or task, you should begin with a small action or section that takes no more than 2 minutes to complete. Really, no longer than 2 minutes. The idea behind this rule is that, by starting with a small, manageable task, it becomes much easier to build momentum, and to overcome the barrier of procrastination.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2 minutes make it easy to start your habits. Anyone is able to read, meditate or put a few plates away in two minutes. This is a powerful strategy, because once you have started doing the right thing, it will be much easier to continue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal in this, is to create a gateway that leads you down a road that\u2019s more productive. It\u2019s about taking small steps towards your goals and making it easy to initiate and stick to it over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating the Gateway<\/b><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s important that you discover you can scale down nearly any habit into those 2 minutes and that you can map out your habit goals by categorizing them in \u201cvery easy\u201d to \u201cvery hard\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
