Summary
The approach is the destination and if that's true then you're never truly finished.
You’ve hit the finish line! Or have you? It’s not really over if you’re just going to have to do it again. Focusing on the finish line can be distracting, especially if you’re putting too much expectation on what you’ll feel when you get there and not enough on the experience of getting there. Today, Rachael and Kelsea discuss the problem of being distracted by the finish line, why we fall short, and how you can work on experiencing your journey instead of worrying about the destination.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- The distraction of the finish line
- How that distraction can be damaging to your life and fitness
- Falling just short
- The approach is the destination
- Experiencing your journey
- Feeling pressure and anxiety
