Health Tips: Developing Mental Toughness – Do It, Even When You Don’t Want to Do It

by

Daily persistence and focus — never stop: Do what you have to do every day, even when you are tired, feel lazy, etc. It does not matter if it is physical training, studying for a test, working toward a deadline or just getting out of bed every day with a positive attitude, do it, no matter what. Make moving a habit. Source

Note: I have a thirty second rule (I make up crazy rules for myself). When I’m faced with a task I don’t want to do, I use the thirty second rule. I do it for thirty seconds (at times I’ve even set a timer! LOL). I find that getting engaged in th activity is all I need to push forward. If, after thirty seconds I want to stop. I make myself do another thirty seconds. The important thing is to do it, don’t quit until it’s finished. When I’m finished, I feel good about myself and what I’ve done even if it is washing the kitchen area floor.

Today’s Great Health Tip

Consistency matters more than intensity when starting a new exercise routine.

This tip is true in so many parts of our lives. The key is slow but sure. Try to take off 10 pounds in two weeks. It can be done, but chances are high it’s going back on. If you’ve never run and decide to hit the hills and run a 5 K, you might make it, your body probably won’t be happy. Patience, persistence, and going after your goal every day will deliver a win for you.

Today’s Thought: Make Failure Your Fuel for Future Successes

Failure happens. It’s part of life. When we choose to push on in spite of failure we turn failure into lessons. Failure can be our best teacher if we’re open to learning, changing, and understanding how to make our failure our fuel for future success.

Today’s Thought: Things That Matter

by

The easy way is usually the wrong way. At least that’s been my experience. At lot of it depends on what will satisfy us. I’ve seen talented people stop and their talent is essentially untapped. They didn’t realize that the easy way is usually the wrong way. The things that matter require certain things from us: Commitment, hard work, discipline, endurance, and a firm belief that what we’re pursuing is worthwhile. Things that matter don’t come easy, we have to work for them.
