Ok you have chosen your goal and understand the meaning behind it and make the decision to commit to it. Now we have to look at how to focus on the decision.
if we lose focus on our goal we will lose the connection and the passion to why we are doing what we are doing. Staying focused on the long-term goal will help keep you positive and connected to achieve the outcome. Every goal will have its setbacks, bad patches and uncertainties but keeping focused on the goal will help drive you through the hard times. Focus is essential to reaching your goal more than anything else. The number one factor I believe in people not reaching a goal is they just go through the motions and don't think about the reasoning behind it.
Take a second and think about how many times you have used or been in the gym and gone through the motions or just turned up at a gym fitness class and just did not work. Be honest did you truly focus on the project at hand. Could you have pushed yourself harder?
I guess the answer is YES! Everyone has bad days or obstacles in the way. We need to see if this is an element in your control or out of your control. Think about the times you lost focus or didn't focus to begin with and write them down e.g.
- Reading a book/magazine
- Talking to people
- Phone call or texting
- Injury
- Bad day at work
- Talking - I'm not saying don't talk at all but if you talk when you should be working out you are not focusing on the job at hand.
- Phone -Why take your phone in the gym. If it is to listen to music turn the airport control button on, if for a timer buy a timer.
- Injury - Lots of people use injury as an excuse not to workout and rest. With most injury's that is what you have to do, but maybe you have a calf injury you can still do some core work or upper body work.
- Bad day at work - you can use this in a positive way to push yourself harder e.g. Boxing or a big weight session, I bet you'll feel better afterwards.
