Basics

I’ve been travelling through Portugal this week. The days have been busy with sightseeing, exploring, moving from place to place and making new friends. My time and space looks much different than it does at home. It would have been very easy to use the trip as an excuse to set aside my personal and team requirements. Instead I found and made use of small moments here and there each day to add in a few push ups and sit-ups and practice mindfulness. There were a couple days I was also able to get in some Tai Chi. 

My priorities may have changed this week, but I realized I still have a measure of control when it comes to  what I chose to do or not do. And that is where discipline comes into play. I was able to record some numbers each day in my book which also helped to keep me mindful of where I was and what I was doing. The numbers weren’t big, but they helped to keep me grounded and focused and reinforced how important those basics are to keeping mediocrity at bay.
