“Shift It”

Running through life at the same pace can sometimes be boring and fatiguing.

I’ve taken care of ultra long distance marathon runners who run for 24 hours at a time and also those who have also qualified for the Boston Marathon.

What they taught me was that when they run, they “shift” the way they run and the speed they run so that they make it without putting too much stress on any given body part for too long.

For instance, they will run on the balls of their feet, then make a “shift” to run more on their heels and they also vary their stride and pace. By doing this, it helps them not to overload any bone or muscle group for too long as other parts “rest” if you will.

Just like long distance running, life is also a journey and not a sprint. And by “shifting” your pace, focus and balance, you too can be in control of your journey and not race until you “burn out”.

So, feel free to set your own pace and “shift” whenever you need to in order to stay refreshed, and enjoy your journey.

That’s why basking in glory is short lived.

America has enjoyed a long run of success and it seems that the past success’ have seeded a sense of the “fat cat syndrome” and a sense of entitlement within the population.

Putting a “check” on our current situation will help us “compete” with the other nations in this world who are doing all they can to achieve the success that we have been enjoying.

…than you do of yourself.

That’s the 3rd of 3 things we go over in the Introduction to Coaching Workshops and it’s true.

If others think more highly of you than you do…why not raise your level of how you think of yourself to at least to the level of others?? Your self-esteem depends on it!!

So, in reality, you are better than you think you are AND getting better – that’s just the way it is – sweet!

There are just some things that we don’t want to do, and can’t delegate, that makes us tired just thinking of them.

That’s the point, the hardest and the worst part…is “thinking” about what we have to do.

It’s best to just get them done and our minds can once again be free…for at least a while:)

My wife likes to do them all in one day – she pick Monday’s and feels great the rest of the week.

So when we have “to do’s” that we really don’t want “to do” like clean toilets, wait at the Post Office, call the insurance company etc…pick a day and just do them…and they will be out of our minds and on the “done” list.
