At m.e.l.t., our coaches encourage members (and prospective members) to embrace the suck! or growing an appreciation for the moments where you at challenged. In embracing those moments, you are on the pathway to progress and engagement. You feel ALIVE and fulfilled.
To continue to make progress in your health, career and relationships, you need to constantly be challenged.
Follow this 5 Step process:
1. 1. Pick one challenge and focus on it: As an entrepreneur, I struggle with this as I’m always trying to take on the world at once…but I’ve found best results are in isolated focus. Rather then focus on defining your arms, getting 6 pack abs, running a 5 k and reducing back pain focus on one of those at a time.
2. 2. Make sure this challenge takes you out of your comfort zone: Think of it as going from level 2, to level 3. Rather then run another 5k, focus on running an adventure 5k or a longer run. You want something that is slightly over your head…not the impossible.
3. 3. Keep score: Set up smaller goals and points you can measure progress. Let’ say your goal is 6 pack abs in 6 months, here are some examples of ideas of smaller goals you could set: figure what program or coach will help you? How many lbs do you need to lose each month? Nutritional changes you will be making? Just make sure you can assess your progress from each smaller goal.
4. 4. Reward yourself: Set up mini rewards for each mile stone and something special for when you finish. E.g a cheat meal at a fancy restaurant for every month you hit your smaller goals and a weekend away at the beach after you hit your 6 month goal of abs.
5. 5. Share your experience and achievement with others: Tell others what you are planning to do, challenge a friend with similar goals to the same thing and do it together, help someone who wants to achieve what you achieved etc,.
Failing to challenge your self is failing to live fully.
To Getting You in Awesome Shape,
JC
