What do we do when setbacks come?

This Is me on a setback season - when moving my body feels hard and I do it anyway. I'm sharing you some game changer thoughts of "how".

Preparing yourself for the tough season can be a joy. Do you believe it?

I wonder how the top athletes prepare themselves for all the phases of their career.

Their mental work is the most profound work I would say.

Imagine that you and I were on a sprinting track with a world class athlete. 

And suddenly our thinking patterns were projected on the screen for all to see. 

I wonder what the difference would look like.

So what do you do to prepare yourself for the tough season?

What is possible for you to do?

And why is it important?

What mistakes I’ve made before, what naively starting a shift in my lifestyle.

And naively meaning that I planned everything based on my best day.

The day and season when I felt motivated, had clarity and uninterrrupted quality sleep.

I just felt so great that I finally thought that everything was possible.

And then came that rainy day, those sleepless nights when I just turned in my bed for hours.

I felt grumpy in the mornings and just dead tired during the nights.

My thoughts were a mess, tangled with thousands of negative thought spirals.

Those were the times when I definitely lost what I had established in an earlier season.

Just for the fact that my foundation was that I need a good day and a perfect season.

But my life is very ordinary, so I couldn’t figure out how this could ever work for me.

Until I started building the whole thing on another foundation.

And I stumbled on the easiest, most simple habit that I established for my exercise routine.

Now I’m learning to use what I’ve learned in other vital areas of my life.

Slowly but surely.

And I can tell you that  s l o w  is the best buddy of the simple & easy habit.

Slow in the sense that you have a timeline of repeating the new habit as much as you need.

Instead of being afraid of the setback season, think of it like this.

As the solidifier of all that you’ve learned so far in your process.

The setback season will help you to take a look at your foundation in a more profound way.

Look to find curiosity. 

It is such a game changer.

It helps you while you process the mental junk coming up during the setback season.
