I hope you had a good weekend? Did you?
A simple thought to ponder this week? What really matters to you right now? I coach lots of people who feel like they should be competing, training, racing all the time, every year, and if they don’t, then they feel guilty and bad.
Now, I love to compete, i really do, the challenge , the goal, the commitment of stretching your boundaries…. yet something I learned a few years ago was this. You achieve great things, and also enjoy the ride of achieving great things by taking a choice and focus on three key priorities at any one time.
So this maybe family, work and wealth say….. then, fitness, sport and competition goes into what I call ‘maintenance’ or happy mode… so you do what makes you feel happy, feel well and strong in the area that is not your priority, but it’s not a huge focus. So you make it fun, little and often, so you feel good, but it doesn’t take a whole amount of time.
The great thing about this is…. one it allows you to really be accountable and commit to learning, sorting our your wealth, developing your knowledge, spending time with important people in your life…. and two, it allows space to have fun with training and then suddenly the healing, motivation and focus is back and you think, boom, yes!! I’m ready to make competition my key priority… With CEO’s I coach this maybe for a 4-6 month period, for athletes it’s usually 9 months, with a key 3 months where it is not…
Love to know what your focus is right now and what you think. Currently, mine is Fitness/Competition, Work & Wealth flow to up level and adapt the business to offer a quality, enhanced service to my clients and online groups, and Well being to stabliise the encephalitis to allow me to have lots of fun with friends and family… these will adapt and change after mid May, mid July and mid Oct ….
Happy, happy week to you all Tweet me @kimingleby how you are doing.
