The process of training can be a taxing one. Physically for certain, but also mentally and emotionally. The balance of productive intensity with playful curiosity is a fine one. Overshoot one way and one risks injury, burnout, and losing their love for challenge. Yet complete playfulness without the ability to focus is a surefire way to squander a lot of time and energy, with the possibility of not getting much accomplished. The balance of these energies is the sweet spot. Where the challenge is enough to pull us into the present and force us to focus, but where our creative energy can contribute to the outcome. As we age we lose our concept of play and fun, often relegating them to a childhood we don’t expect to ever see again. But by leaning into some of those lessons we can revitalize our personal growth, letting go of our fear of failure, our relentless need for perfectionism. Of course we’ll mess it up, that’s part of the fun! Smile and enjoy the journey

Competition can be useful tool to help us focus, to rededicate ourselves to the process of self improvement. It can help us shake off complacency in familiar routines, and give us something tangible to train hard for. It doesn’t have to be ego driven to motivate us to improve. The simple act of committing to showing up to face a known challenge puts us in the position of mentally and physically preparing ourselves for that challenge. It can be profound how much more diligently we approach the variables that we control to help improve the outcome we hope to achieve!

The thoughtful application of pressure encourages growth, stretching us beyond our current capacities. Find the productive amount of stress to elicit this response takes time and practice. Too much and we will inevitably fail, too little and we do not need to grow to meet the demands. To be embrace this process of continually seeking productive discomfort tempers the character, forging not only resilience and grit, but hopefully empathy and compassion. In our struggles we can recognize the struggles of others, and build even deeper bonds of community.

Our actions, big and small, turn into habits quite easily. In the beginning the changes in behavior can be extremely subtle. By the time we realize the habit has been formed, it’s often quite difficult to change it. Because of this, it’s important to reinforce all the little behaviors that support the larger habits we want to have. Not hitting that snooze button, drinking water instead of something sugary or alcoholic; our small actions carry tremendous power over the long term. Be mindful of the routines that shape who you are every day.

Excellence in anything requires a steady commitment of time and energy. The motivation will not always be there, and in those moments we must keep the bigger goal in the forefront of our minds. It is the effort given on the difficult days that makes the biggest difference over the long term. The character it builds and willpower it instills are powerful drivers of who we become over the course of our lives!

No matter where you are in your current endeavor, this moment will not last. Highs and lows come and go. Persisting with a consistent vision and purpose will create long term success, in our training, in our routines and in our lives. When you know what is truly important to you, the planets will not have to align for you to want to engage in that work. Do not be deterred by momentary setbacks or if your momentum slows. Stay the course and be proud of your commitment to yourself!

Ask yourself, what am I truly passionate about? Dig deeper than the surface level, it will likely take a little time to get to the things of substance that really move you. Once you have that thing, find ways of keeping it in the forefront of your mind, daily reminders and routines that help you remember it when life inevitably tries to pull you off course. Soon enough, habits begin to stack that build momentum towards your goal. The work becomes easier as circumstances align more and more to support your work. That’s when Flow happens, at the threshold of work and play, where you get sucked into a level of focus that leverages the challenges in front of you to help you grow. But it all starts with asking yourself, what is your why?
