Been there — done that.

There are simply not enough beads on the average abacus to count how many times I have thrown my head back, covered my face with my hands and screamed,“I need a vacation!!!!!” That was before I understood the principles of full engagement and the importance of recharging the emotional and physical batteries.

As a pro athlete I had learned the hard way the critical importance of recovery in the process of achieving something beyond average and mundane. I recall how during preparation for a incredibly important competition I had all but lost it, my sanity that is. I was just 3 weeks out form the event when my body and mind simply said NO MORE F*&%#R!

I tried to push through and press on because I thought had no choice. I had witnessed other athletes do it. But I had also seen the results. More often than not they would push through but then crumple and fall apart either physically or more often emotionally at the very last minute before the event.

One last competitor for me to worry about.

That’s not to say as a warrior you should just lay down your weapon in the middle of a battle or stop marching forward simply because your mind or feet are telling you to stop. Not at all. In fact in most cased when the mind is telling you to stop or back off it’s an indication to push even harder or to swing the ax even faster.

However, what a truly seasoned and experienced warrior is willing to recognize - is that when he or she is faced with superior or overwhelming forces the only way to live to fight another day is to RETREAT – REGROUP, tend to their wounds, devise a more effective strategy or plan and then RE-ENGAGE again later.

I learned through my own experience and by watching the warriors falling around me that if I were going to compete with and prevail over obviously superior and even overwhelming competition I would need a superior strategy and tacked. So I started learning not only how create “rapport” with my body by listening to its needs but also how to CORRECTLY Interpret the meaning of the messages I received from my unconscious mind you know those little inner voices that are always trying to stop you from moving forward… I battled them too, we all do.

If you are going to do more than just survive but prosper in your hard working quest for a better life you must learn to do the same.

This Thursday (May 5th) during a live teleseminar I am going to be talking about how, if you are going to either overcome or avoid being overcome by out you too must learn how to employ a superior strategy and tack.

If you have ever felt like an exhausted and overwhelmed warrior just trying to hold your ground with little visible progress then you need to join me and my good friend and business coach extraordinaire, Travis Greenlee on Thursday, May 5th as we share some extremely valuable tools and strategies for winning not just the battle but the war.

BONUS GIFT: Action Goals Criteria

There’s an interesting saying- “we’ll do more for others then we will for ourselves.” Is that true? Would you run into a burning building to grab a suitcase with $100,000 in it. Maybe maybe not. But what if a child was in there or someone you loved? What you even think twice? Unlikely.

Caring about and wanting to support others can get us doing things we otherwise wouldn’t do for ourselves. The contestants on the Biggest Loser for example will often find the motivation they need to persevere in knowing how their transformation will impact their families or loved ones.

On June 5th (National Cancer Survivor Day) that motivation can be seen in an inspiring way as literally tens of thousands of people nationwide lace up their running/walking shoes and pound the pavement in support of the cancer survives and their families and to help others win the battle.

I hope you’ll get up and move and show your support by joining me and hundreds of other physical philanthropists at the Exempla Lutheran Medical Center in Lakewood, Colorado for the LEAVES of HOPE 5k run/walk on June 5, 2011 or wherever a National Cancer Survivor Day event is taking place in your community. It may be all the motivation you need to run or even walk your first or next 5k.

In This video I point the finger at excuse makers and share why it must stop if they are ever going to achieve their goals and dreams.

Am I pointing at you or looking in the mirror… maybe both?

Stop with the excuses and watch this video. Or watch this video and stop the excuses.

Goal setting has been said to be the single most important component in the achievement of success. Identifying what you want and “going after it” after all does seem like a fairly natural process. At the Achievement Bootcamp I teach that that is not always the case. We know that attitude plays a major role in not only the achievement process but in the simple act of goal setting itself. The very idea of goal setting, for most people is met with one of 5 reactions or attitudes. The first three are the classic isim’s – skepticism, cynicism, or flat out pessimism.

1. Skepticism: If you’re a skeptic you have an attitude of doubt in general or toward a particular subject. You might say “I’m not sure about the whole goal setting thing.” That doubt gives you permission to take no action in regards to setting goals for yourself. If you’re a skeptic you have likely never taken the time to set any realistic goals and if you have it was that very skepticism itself that held you back from achieving them. Of course as a skeptic you would seriously doubt that to be true.

2. Cynicism: On the other hand if you’re a cynic you may have the belief that human behavior is motivated primarily by self-interest. You might see goal setting as a psychological or emotional manifestation of that “self interest” and therefore want no part of it. Or you might say “I tried setting a goal once – it didn’t work, not only that but I felt like I was neglecting other more important area’s in my life” and as a result you exempt yourself from ever having to set goals again. “Been there done that” are the only 4 words in your marching song. You may need an attitude adjustment.

3. Pessimism: If you’re a pessimist you likely have an inclination to emphasize the adverse or negative conditions, and the grim possibilities, or to expect the worst possible outcome. You are the most pervasive of the isimist’s. Like an airborne pathogen you will often infect the thinking and beliefs of others around you with your strong and well voiced opinion. “Goal setting is huge a waste of time and will serve only set you up for failure and even disappointment.” I have heard some people say “I am a pessimist by nature and will never change.” I don’t believe that anyone is a pessimist by nature but rather had their pessimism thrust upon them by choice. If you’re a lifelong pessimist it’s likely you have never set a future goal. Setting goals would suggest hope for the future and an alternative possibility to the doom and gloom that awaits us all. The skeptic, cynic, and pessimist would tell you that their attitude is purely intellectual and has little to do with emotion.

4. Fearful: The fourth attitudinal reaction ‘fear’ is purely emotional and may actually be at the very heart of the first three. The most obvious fear is that of failure. No one wants to look or feel like a failure in front of their friends, loved ones, or piers but most importantly they don’t want to see a failure when they look in the mirror. The fear of failure may be the biggest obstacle standing between you and success. If you are the fearful goal setting represents, not the possibility for success but rather the probability of failure“If I don’t try then I can’t fail.” We all have dreams, hopes, and wishes but for you to formulate them into tangible goals would mean stepping out onto an unsure limb. You prefer not to risk anything “I’d better not, I might lose what I already have” and therefore pursue nothing.

5. Optimism: The fifth reaction is that of excitement and anticipation and optimism. For those individuals who desire a better future and are not willing to leave it to chance goal setting represents the unleashing of their desires and dreams. If you are among the excited and optimistic the act of determining exactly what you want and writing it down on paper represents the first action steps in manifesting those dreams and desires. You tend to be the among the achievers. Or as the cynic might say “the lucky.”

So which reaction or attitude is the correct one? The truth is there is no right or wrong when it comes to our reaction to such things. There is only empowering and dis-empowering.

How do you know if your attitude towards setting goals in past has served you or held you back, has empowered or dis-empowered you? How do you know?

 It’s simple – look at your results.
Your results are the best way to determine your attitude around setting and achieving goals. Are you living the life you truly desire? Has your attitude served you or has it been the leading cause of your dissatisfaction, disappointment, and unhappiness?

There’s saying; Your Attitude Will Determine Your Outcome”

Maybe it’s time for a good attitude adjustment?
