Why new habits always fail.

Reign Hail or Shine. Mentoring program for men in construction.

The media has lied to men in construction. They make claims like:

"7 best habits in your life to turn it around!"

"The top 3 habits that will make you a winner!"

"Habits successful men use for relationship heaven!"

Or whatever bullshit they claim.

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of men in construction currently trapped with coping mechanisms of alcohol, drugs, gambling or on the brink of marriage breakdowns, family problems, overweight issues, low self-esteem and self-worth are eating this garbage up.

These things don't work boys and it's all to do with the headlines. When they mention the word "habit" your brain automatically tells you that "this will be easy. After all isn't a "habit" like being on autopilot?

The answer is yes. That's exactly what a habit is like turning on the tap to brush your teeth. The problem is to change any of the issues above requires you to be in charge of your plane or ship.

It requires you to be present. It demands you roll your sleeves up and get dirty. Do you honestly think I came out of a 20-year dark hole of being an alcoholic in construction by mindless habits?

Of course, I didn't.

So what's the key to start directing your life where it needs to go?

Routines.

You are looking to set up and consistently maintain good routines. A routine requires energy and effort. That is the actual definition of a routine.

Now apply that word and its rich meaning to the problems mentioned above. See how well it fits?

Listen in as I give you 2 routines to start to build into your daily life to create some breathing space. This in turn creates positive thoughts. Remember boys, where focus goes, energy flows.
