 "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." – Arystoteles

 

 

 

Good morning, Dzien dobry, guten Morgen, Bonjour, 早上好, Buongiorno, Buenos días, Jó reggelt, Καλημέρα!

 

Today is Tuesday, and as everyone knows, on Tuesdays, I eat pasta with Nutella sauce.

Here’s the recipe:
We overcook spaghetti for so long that it turns into a uniform mass mixed with the water in which it was boiled. To the pasta, we add a blend of palm oil and glucose-fructose syrup, with 13 percent modified hazelnuts (of unknown origin), along with emulsifiers, defatted cocoa, and other wonders invented by "nutrition" scientists (so that we quickly transition to "health" scientists). We mix everything into a smooth mass, which, with its beautiful and distinct brown color and consistency, should remind us of… pudding. Then, we scoop it into bowls and voilà! We devour it with joy while our internal organs and entire body weep.

Of course not!

 

1. Of course, I drank water with olive oil, vinegar, pepper, and turmeric.
2. Of course, I did push-ups and squats beforehand.
3. Of course, as soon as I got out of bed, I thanked God for welcoming me to another beautiful day. (You can thank the great subconscious, a higher being, or if you’re entirely non-believing—thank yourself. That’s a good method, too.)
4. Of course, I sat down to write this, and by 5 a.m., I already had a plan for what I would write (even though I will surely write a lot spontaneously and in the moment—but who can stop me? I’m playing my game and am the master of my fate!).
5. Of course, I’ve already repeated my English vocabulary (just five words—1% more every four days. In a few months, I’ll be doing six, and in a year, who knows—maybe 20 every four days—so that I can speak fluently—FLUENTLY!—on my year-long vacation, which is my ultimate goal for 2030).

So far, I have five points. If I looked further, I would surely find more positive habits I’m implementing—like using a water flosser after meals whenever I’m home or reading books before bed. But let’s stick to five, as it feels a bit awkward to boast too much. 😊

 

These five points are the habits I’m introducing. Positive habits that I’m trying to embed into my daily life.

There are many ideas on how to introduce habits, and I will surely write more about this. However, as an introduction, it’s worth knowing a few basic concepts related to habits:

1. A habit is something that happens every day without our conscious influence. It resides in the subconscious.
2. If a habit is positive, it will change our lives for the better.
3. A habit gives us 100% certainty that we will achieve the goal associated with it, even if it seems completely unattainable.
4. A habit is not motivation.
5. We introduce a habit very slowly but systematically—EVERY DAY!
6. A habit takes about 20-60 days to build. (Is that a lot to change your daily life forever? I don’t think so.)
7. One habit can introduce another habit.*
   *Smoking a cigarette introduces the habit of drinking beer. I’m joking, but actually, this is a good example. Disgusting, but effective in illustrating the concept. Just replace it with my example from today—I see a bottle of vitamins and chlorella, and I do push-ups. Automatic.
8. A habit loves rewards!
9. A habit must be monitored during implementation.
10. A positive habit is harder to introduce than a negative one. Our bodies don’t like overexertion and love relaxation—but they are not our boss, we are in charge. Imagine if one of your employees slacked off all day—how would you react?
11. A habit has a trigger. Example: After a meal, I brush my teeth. Eating triggers the habit of brushing. Simple!

 

This is just an introduction, and I will elaborate on each point in future blogs with creative titles like: Habits #1, Habits #2, etc. 😊
I have already started a few series: I am not a robot #1, as well as Superfood #1, where I will describe various foods and plants (around 50).

 

Summary of the introduction to habits:

 

Analyze each of the points above. Think about your own habits and whether it’s worth (hint: it definitely is!) changing them into positive ones.
For motivation, reflect on your existing positive habits and consider what triggers them. Maybe it’s worth transforming one of your current habit triggers into a mechanism that initiates another positive habit?

My habit tracking table with the days of the week (I highly recommend making one for yourself!).
This table will help me track my habit-building process day by day. This is a must if you want to successfully implement habits.

Just a short introduction as always, which turned out to be the main content of this blog post—but who cares? It was worth it. Maybe a bit too informative, but at least boring. 😊 (just kidding)

Day of reflection number three.
1,809 days left until the end of my HMF journey (not the last one, of course). Believe it or not, but I’m already afraid that this will one day come to an end. Completely the opposite of how I felt in the beginning…

Back then, I thought:

"Man! You’re too weak to implement this. Five years? That’s way too long for a reckless guy like you. You don’t have enough discipline or willpower. Where will you find the motivation?" And so on and so on.

That’s exactly where my method and the 1% rule come in, along with the daily challenges/tasks in my game of life.

Step by step toward the goal.

Slow, strategic habit implementation and completing 5+1 tasks EVERY DAY give me such an incredible boost—such positive emotions and motivation—that I don’t even know what to compare it to.

I’ve never done drugs, but I think it might be something similar—after all, people get addicted to that garbage for a reason. I’d compare it to a small endorphin bomb exploding inside me every morning when I see my calendar, and again every time I check off a completed task (a smaller bomb, but still!).

 

Summary:

 

This week, I focused on habits—mainly the ones that will get me to my short-term goal: 97 kg by the end of the month (2 kg to go!).

• Did I complete most of my tasks in line with the HMF method? YES. I did ALL of them.
• Did I follow through with my habit implementation? (e.g., daily cycling and the nectar of the gods: oil + water + vinegar) YES.
• Am I happy? YES.
• Do I look like a lunatic on the street, grinning from ear to ear? YES!

 

Goals achieved. Habits being built.

Everything’s on track. 😊

Moving forward!

 

Oh, and one more thing: reward.
A super important aspect—because there HAS to be one!

Today's reward: the swimming pool!
Haven’t been in a while, and I love it.

See you tomorrow! Wish me luck!

nd I’ll be rooting for you too!
