The silly season is upon us and it is not even Summer here downunder… and many are feeling the heat.
With the warmer weather in the Wild Wild West in Perth, Western Australia comes early sun rises and the opportunity to get out there and energise yourself for the day ahead with your favourite exercise.
People come to me for coaching, whether to improve their athletic performance, eradicate self doubt or a self defeating attitude to boost their confidence and create the power of a Champion attitude and focus.
….and the one thing I remind myself about consistently, as I do my clients, is focusing on the things that count. Too often we beat ourselves up for all the things we should have done, rather than thinking about what do I need to do.
Do you find yourself focusing on the good times or bad?
Here is my suggestion for you.
Have a great memory of your achievements and forget all the things you should have done or could have done better. What is one achievement from your past you can focus on?
What I call your Gold Medal Moments…
1. Create a list of your personal achievements when you were standing on your dais and you were the Champion of your own world.
2. Separate the list into the following areas: strength, power, confidence, focus, energetic, calm, relaxed, in the zone and joy.
3. In each of the lists write your personal achievements when you felt those emotions that boost your energy levels, performance and productivity.
Practice the following…. when you find yourself focusing on the things you should have done or could have done better and with those thoughts come all those nasty feelings and emotions… turn and focus on what you want to feel instead and remember the times, that specific time, as if looking through your own eyes and see what you saw, feel what you felt, hear what you heard and what you may have been saying to yourself.
If you are training for your next competition whether an open water swim or triathlon; it is important to stack those gold medal moments in a special place so if you need them during training or a competition; you can access them easily.
Watch as your energy levels increase, your distractions disappear and your confidence soar!
Create A Champion Mindset and Be Totally Happy Being You!
