The Big Picture - Specific and doing things with Intent

One of the biggest traps to fall into is losing their way and getting into the routine of ticking the boxes and focusing on the process to active the actually results. Especially over winter or off seasons, when the events and or races seem a bit of time away. This is a big block in the wall and can be counterproductive to what you are trying to achieve because each action, training session you will slide into doing what you’ve always done, excepting something different ? That's the old saying of what is the meaning of insanity "doing the same thing and expecting different results." :)

So be aware not to go missing during his period lose an opportunity to develop and grow in what you have set out to achieved.

Always go into the day, the sessions with intent. Make sure that at the start of every the day or session, thinking about what you are trying to develop and or achieve. Then after the actions or session think about what you did to achieve it. Life demands quite a bit of “HARD” work and can wear you down. Step back now and again and question, pull yourself out to pull yourself back in to the present, the now.
Try and think about things as a wheel turning over, using cues to continue mental focus, standing tall, high elbow catch in the water, body position, etc.
If you select too many things to have focus on or give intent on you may miss the mark, but if you just have 1 or 2 focus points each day and or session then you have a reason to be doing what you have set out there to achieve and be specific - proactive - effective with the consistency and following the process and you will start to notice more about yourself as a person, becoming the best version of yourself - Father, , Husband, Wife , Worker, Friend, Athlete.

Young carer Benn talks about caring for his Dad: “I am now 31 years old, and have been the full time carer looking after my Dad since his stroke. We didn’t receive any support from government services, so everyday things such as cooking, dressing, cleaning and maintaining his appointments with Doctors, Physios, Speech Pathologists and others became my responsibility.” http://ow.ly/KWKL307k7HK

Was reminded about a Quote I read a while ago in a audiobook I was listening to today....

We all get caught up in our mind sometimes and scare ourselves through the fear of the thoughts that run through our heads, when we set ourselves goals and targets, its easy to get caught up in the results and think of all the work thats needed and the challenges that will follow, the changes and actions that are required only stress ourselves out, by one bad day or movement and we freak out and fall off..... forgetting the real reason why we started along the journey or what the goals is all about and the meaning to this achievement,goal and or lifestyle choice... Remember its our choice in the end, we choose.

"LET GO - Let is happen, enjoy the process of change the journey, the enjoyment factor will overwhelm all the thoughts and fears, get excited about the lifestyle and all the habits and changes that you will make and take one step at a time and mark off the checkpoints, get little goals and markers along the way, enjoy the journey with friends and family, step back every now and again to soak in the journey and look back on how far you have come, and continue to strive forward...

"Fall in love with the effort, fall in love with the process you will go through tomorrow - fall in love with it because in the grand scheme of life we get so few opportunities to see how good we can be and whatever happens you win when you have a deep appreciation for the journey. Your'e a champion already - so tomorrow race like a champion". - Jasper Blake"
