Eliminate the 'Buts' in Your Life
Motivation, December 14, 2016
Stop making excuses and get more done!
#1 thing to do to improve your training and racing:
I know we all like the "magic pill" or the "ultimate workout" or any single thing we can do to improve ou training and racing.
Well, guess what ? I have one !!!
Best way to improve your training or racing is by eliminating the "But" in your life!
For most of us, our lives have way too many "Buts" :
* I was going to swim BUT....
* I could go harder BUT...
* My diet can be better BUT.....
* I'm sorry I did that, BUT...
This little word is used to cover up alot of nonsense, and is almost always followed by an excuse.
When I hear the word 'BUT' used by people (and that includes myself), it actually wipes out everything that they have said before they said 'BUT'.
I always remember: "If you really want to do something you'll find a way. If you don't you'll find an excuse."
Whatever the excuse is, it really does not matter and no one care !! You are the only one affected by your excuse, not anyone else!
The next time you find yourself saying something then the word 'BUT' follows it...Pause, ask yourself what you really are trying to say..are you making and excuse or justifying something to yourself? Is there a real reason you can't do what you set out to? Or is it self-sabotage showing up as hidden excuses Taking this moment to ask these questions will likely help stop the 'BUT' cycle, and get you where you want to be much faster. It takes practice, but take the 'BUT' off the table, and see how much more you achieve!
Get rid of the "BUTS" and get faster, stronger, healthier!
