When was the last time you truly felt as though you were in no rush?

For many of us, it’s been too long.

Being a busy athlete and working professional challenges our ability for optimal work-life balance. I usually feel like I’m rushing day-to-day. It’s never comfortable, but I’m accustomed to it, which got me thinking…

What do we really gain from rushing...besides the immediate stress of a packed schedule and the anxiety from multi-tasking like it’s going out of style?

About 16 months ago I got new health insurance. New health insurance meant finding a new doctor. Getting established with a new doctor meant getting lots of blood work, specifically a complete blood count (CBC). At first I was kind of annoyed that my new doctor was making me jump through so many hoops, but I couldn’t be more thankful now.

Weekly Mantra: You are not allowed to have negative thoughts.

How much time do you “waste” in a week on negative thoughts – feelings of guilt, anger, hatred, or self-loathing?

Think about all the energy it takes to dwell in these thoughts and then to reverse them? So much energy!
How much more could you accomplish or achieve or ENJOY if you could simply vanquish these negative thoughts?

Weekly Mantra: Recognizing patterns to overcome barriers and improve performance.

Do you have a pattern to living?

Do your weeks, more or less, mirror one another?

Do you have a typical pattern to your training?
