Recently we posted a blog on 'The best way to improve gains
in the gym', which focussed on learning to slow down and think about what you
want to achieve in the gym and to focus on your routines and exercise for
maximum gains. This blog is going to look at how slowing down can help you make
the most out of life!
Are you someone that this is constantly rushing around, gets
stressed, misses deadlines, procrastinates, is always late, always on edge.
What i say to you is , STOP...just for a second and take a moment to be aware
of your surroundings, your state of mind, your thoughts, feelings and what you
are currently doing.
Our mind has a tendency to play many tricks on us, these
'cognitive traps' make us believe that things are worse than they actually are
and we exaggerate their importance.
To help you slow down try getting up early in the morning,
its a great time to see the world, everything seems likes its more calm and you
can get a whole lot done. After getting up and completing the bathroom
essentials take 15 minutes to do some relaxation, focus on your breathing and
where you are in your mind state at that time. I know what you are thinking
'who has time for that!' trust me when i say that it has made a difference to
my life and to the lives of many others. You should aim to use the morning as a
time to effectively plan the day ahead and prepare yourself for the grind of
daily life.
Take time when you converse with others, give your undivided
attention to whatever task you want to accomplish and spend time on things that
you may be struggling with and see how they become manageable. All in all,
remember life can sometime seem like a never ending race. Take a moment now to
stop, look around, take a deep breath and live in the moment!
