What Raphael Velazquez can say in an interview on
the 365% Rule & Life:
-
- Dream big and step small. The 365% rule starts off with having a plan, a destination, and goals. You need to know where you’re going before you step off towards a journey. The same goes for fitness, no matter whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, feel better, get stronger, improve your strength, lose body fat, know where you are by doing an assessment and having goals.
-
- 1 % x 365 days. The important thing here is that you look to improve 1% every day. It can be a small change/improvement in your fitness, nutrition, health, or even in other aspects of life. May that be intellectually by reading or socially by hanging/seeing friends. It’ll help you feel good and improve on other aspects of what life is about. Wellness is all-encompassing on many variables.
- Focus on great & better, not perfect. Perfection can cause you to not take action, freak out when things don’t go the way you want them to and nothing in life is perfect. With that being said focus on great and know that things can always be improved. You take this approach by doing your best, and you will improve your state of mind on how you see things and go about executing on your goals (fitness/nutrition/health/career/etc.)
- Build habits. A lot of times we fall in love with the vision/ goal and either forget, don’t realize, or don’t know that what we are building habits to be able to become better in whatever it is we are looking to improve. These habits become a part of us, our foundation & our subconscious. We can develop values around strong habits to ultimately pass down to our children, share with others and continue to create impact.
- Become consistent. Consistency will be what will keep your strength up, keep the weight off, keep you succeeding at work and living your best life. You know you’re being accountable to yourself and others with what it was that you set out to do and that develops who you are, your character. The goal is about improvement, becoming better, and allowing your name and character to speak volumes even when you’re not in the room.
