Every day we begin anew and each day is an opportunity to restart. Often though we are on auto pilot and just go with the flow, not thinking about the benefits and possibilities each day brings. What if we had a plan as to how we might do even just one thing differently? Beginning anew and intentionally resetting starts with awareness and understanding we have a measure of control when it comes to our attitude. I have found that intentional thought and planned action are required to make the most of a restart.
After having a week where I was constantly having to make adjustments and training suffered as a result, I made a plan to look at the following week as a chance to restart. I didn't just simply wait for the new week to begin and hope it would be better, I came up with a simple plan of action. The plan was to start with an increase in push up and sit ups reps. My goal was 300 of each per day. I knew this was doable because I've done it before. And what I found was that the rest of my training gained strength and momentum from making that simple change. I may not have reached my goal everyday but I put in the extra effort and had my best weekly numbers in all areas of my training this past week.
My goal again this coming week is 300 push ups and 300 sit ups per day. Maybe what I need are some training buddies to help keep my on track. Who wants to join me?
