Hey Reader,

We’ve reached the part of building habits that most people don’t want to hear. But here it is, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it—sorry!

If you haven’t read the other emails in this series yet, you can catch up here​

Now, let’s talk about what actually gets you to your goals. There’s no shortcut, no magic pill, no secret formula. The only way to get there is to Do The Work. Do The Reps. Do Your Thing.

I know, I know. This is the hardest part (well, the second hardest part, in my opinion). But trust me, it’s the only way.

Do The Work:​
Success doesn’t happen overnight. The key is taking it slow, so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming. Let’s say your goal is to drink 100 oz of water every day, but you’re currently only hitting 50 oz. Don’t try to jump straight to 100 right away. Start by adding just 10 oz a day. That means, for this week, your goal is to drink 60 oz a day.

This way, you’re giving yourself time to figure out what works best for you, and you’re not setting yourself up for failure. You’ll learn how to integrate that habit into your day until it feels natural.

And don’t forget to revisit your WHY. Read the reason you wrote down for wanting to drink more water, and remind yourself why this matters. That simple reminder can fuel you to keep going!

Do The Reps:​
This is where the magic really happens. Reps = consistency. This is where you build those small, manageable habits that’ll add up to the big changes you’re working towards.

Let’s stick with the water example. If your goal is 100 oz per day, think of it in bite-sized chunks.

You’ve got a typical 10-hour day ahead of you.

• Drink 10 oz every hour: Set a timer on your phone to remind you to drink every hour. If you’re a morning person, knock out a few of those early.
• Or, drink 20 oz every 2 hours: When the timer goes off, check if you’ve hit your 20 oz. If not, finish it up before the timer resets.
• Or, drink 20 oz at each meal: That’s 60 oz. The other 40 oz you can space out throughout your day.

It’s all about making it manageable, so you stay consistent and don’t feel overwhelmed.

Break your big goal into smaller goals, and then get to work. Do the reps. It’s that consistency—day after day—that builds momentum and gets you closer to the finish line.

And remember: You’re not doing this for the short-term win. You’re building habits that last. With each rep, you’re getting closer to the version of yourself who’s crushing their goals. You’ve got this!

Take it one day at a time, and remember—doing the work, and doing the reps, will always get you to where you want to go.
