They were given the challenge to exercise each day
One group was told each day to tell themselves “I can’t miss a workout.”

Another group was told to tell themselves each day “I don’t miss a workout.”
The third group was told not to say anything to themselves.
The results were fascinating.
Of the group that told themselves “I don’t miss a workout”; 8 out of 10 did not miss a workout

Begin to tell yourself “I don’t miss ________” and it will start to become your identity for the majority of you (according to research).

Turn the word “don’t” into something positive that starts to form your identity and quit consciously or subconsciously telling yourself that your resolve is a choice.
