Summary
Change, both good and bad, can be hard to recognize because real change happens over time. Today, we look at how to appreciate the actions you take, even though they don't seem like much right now.
How do we know that we're improving, getting stronger, or moving the right direction? Sometimes it's about shifting your "satisfaction perspective" and knowing what's best for you. We get into diet changes, building strength, getting faster, and recognizing things that truly make us happy. We look at being an advocate for yourself and recognizing your trends. We talk about why being "fit" doesn't always mean someone's "healthy." And we talk about the difference between looking and seeing something. The clarity of what's real and what's not.
Topics:
- Growing when you have the opportunities
- Over the road trucker
- When tears are shed
- The Coach/Athlete relationship is personal
- High burnout rate for coaches AND athletes
- We all want return on investment
- It's hard to recognize slow improvement
- Being "fit" doesn't always equal "healthy"
- Overall health is the goal
- Creating your best life?
- What is happiness?
- Shifting perspective on satisfaction
- Development is long-term
- Gradual change isn't "exciting"
- Bad diets with good people
- Empathy - Advocate for your life
- Don't absorb what's going on around you
- Recognizing growth
- When you become unrecognizable
- Constant decisions
- Recognizing your own trends
- When we look but don't see
- Slow down and you'll soak it in
- Everyone wants to do sooo much
- Things are never going to be "perfect"
