Have you ever been in a relationship that you stayed in too long? Right? So How can we be better at biting the bullet sooner? Only when the pain of leaving it got super clear did I decide to do something. My toe could have been fixed two years ago, but the thought of surgery or an injection into the knuckle was way more painful than just leaving it. And, when we sense that not doing something for a minute longer will cause more pain than the pain of actually doing it, we all of sudden click into gear.
We all have a limit of the maximum pain we are willing to bear. We procrastinate when we lose touch with what the cost or pain we will endure by not doing something will be. The pain of not Banting or Keto is worse than the pain of doing it (if you think it’s painful at all).
We end procrastination when the pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of taking action. After all of that delay, there is no surgery. And now I’m on running rest for two weeks. My surgeon phoned me and told me I needed to come in for a cortisone injection in the knuckle. I reached a point where the pain of running on the toe outweighs the pain I will go through during surgery and recovery. I started overcompensating in my running form which led to other injuries and niggles. How did I bite the bullet (and what makes Banting and Keto clients do it too)? This is exactly the same thing a lot of our keto and Banting coaching clients experience while they’re avoiding getting started.

I’m writing about it to demonstrate how coaches at RMR put all of our tools to work in real life situations.įor the full scoop read this, but the long story short is that I ruptured the knuckle capsule in my big left toe two years ago and I’ve been avoiding getting it fixed since. My previous best is 113 minutes, so that is a MASSIVE jump. I’m training to break a 90 minute half marathon. The better you get at using it, the faster you will get at pulling off the plaster, or making tough decisions. I got it from Tony Robbins, but it is a skill that most great leaders use to become more decisive.
This is a trick I apply when it comes to making tough decisions. Leave a crossroads.Īll of these things involve deciding to do something difficult or unpleasant that you have been putting off or hesitating over.
