In this episode of the Life Is A Marathon show, I talk about how every thought, word, decision, action, is a form of training. You are constantly conditioning your mind and body to do the very same thing. Set the intention of training for success instead of mediocrity or failure. Quotes from the show: No matter what you do, you are always training for something! What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family! - Mother Teresa Show outline: I learned so much about life and mindset by training for a marathon You CAN Go the Distance! You CAN change your life by changing your thoughts Blog post in Aug. 2014 - You are always training for something! You are always training your brain, which trains your body, which creates habits, which directs your life! Running/Workout example Skip a run/workout because it's raining or you just don't feel like it Students/Studying Know you should study, but put it off until later You DO NOT work best under pressure - That's a lie It's more fun to text or Facetime than to unplug and concentrate Relationships Not asking someone out because of fear of rejection Putting off that difficult conversation Choosingto be sarcastic It's not cute, it's not funny, it's not helping your relationships It's all about intention and attitude Your intention, attitude, outlook determine how you show up in the world Look for the good everywhere Live like an explorer, always looking for new lands and hidden treasure You need to START and build momentum/inertia A rocket consumes 80% of it's fuel in the first few seconds just to get off the ground An airplane burns fuel and the pilot makes massive adjustments to get the plane up and pointed in the right direction. In flight there are constant, but minor, course corrections due to wind or to avoid storms Everyone on the plane feels the takeoff and the initial direction changes Once in-flight, the adjustments are barely felt at all You CAN Do it Train to change Train to win Celebrate and recalibrate along the way Invest in yourself - you are your greatest asset Surround yourself with positive, encouraging people Put educational/motivation information in your ears and eyes Invest a coach, or at least, personal development programs Mentioned in this show: Bruce Van Horn - You are always training for something!
