Change

Sometimes it feels like we are in the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. We repeat the same day over and over again. We get up at the same time, do the same routine: go to work, workout, dinner, then back to bed just to start it all over again.

Here is my challenge for you this month. Change things up a bit. If you have been doing the same thing at the gym for the past year add in a new exercise or add some sprints to your morning run once or twice a week. At work change the time you eat lunch or where you eat lunch. Say something nice to the person that drives you crazy. Do something to change the monotony of the day.

This is easy for me to say but change is difficult. Change is challenging and that is exactly why we need to do it. When you change your workout you challenge new muscles that may not be as strong as those around it. When we build all the muscles it gives us better balance. This is why we need to look to change things up in other areas of our lives as well. Balance is good in life just as it is in the gym or on a run.  

You can change! Not only can you change, you can change for the better. The first step to do this is to decide what changes you want to make. Once you know, build your plan to make it a reality. Then slowly and constantly take the actions that will bring about the desired difference (A good coach can really help in this area and I happen to know a great one at GCG).

When you accomplish what you want and look back on the changes that you have made to make it to your goals, the feeling is incredible.

It all starts with a subtle change and builds over time. Just like in Groundhog Day. Bill Murray’s character had to try many different things until he found the right combination to get him past that day and on to the life he wanted. You can do the same.

Remember your energy flows to where your attention goes! Focus on what you want!
