Like many people I have been fortunate to enjoy a few days off over the Easter Bank Holiday Week End. We have traveled \u00a0some way to spend some time with family. This \u00a0break in the day to day schedule or perhaps a\u00a0\u00a0long journey afford you some time to reflect on things.<\/p>\n
The thing that seemed to come to my mind \u00a0was the fact that I committed some time ago to doing a \u00a0couple of events this year. \u00a0The actual events are not that important but they do represent a major physical challenge for a 40 something year old. \u00a0Being away from the daily routine gave me just enough \u00a0time to allow my brain to start fishing around in its recesses and reminding me of promises I had made to myself.<\/p>\n
I recognised that my training to date had not been as extensive as it really needed to be and that I had so far not committed as fully as I needed to to achieve my goals. Time then for the dentist to take a dose of his own medicine!<\/p>\n
I shared my thoughts with my long suffering family and explained that I intended to rectify my training schedule and work at it a bit harder. They obviously relished the opportunity to boss me around and encourage me to get on with it! \u00a0So what was the outcome…. \u00a05 Days away, 3 training sessions and a plan in my diary going forwards to\u00a0get me back on track.<\/p>\n
Like any goal, it is easy to let procrastination creep in or fail to share your commitment with others through fear of failure. It is amazing the change that can be produced \u00a0by nothing more than a small conversation with people who want to see you succeed.<\/p>\n
No matter what you want to do, be it a long running race, or beating your dental fear, this week end has reminded me of the benefits of setting a goal, sharing it \u00a0and committing to it wholeheartedly. If you need someone in your corner to \u00a0\u00a0help you commit to beating your dental fear please just get in touch. \u00a0………and if you make it into see us \u00a0before September this year, keep me accountable and ask me how the training is going !<\/p>\n
Even top athletes need to remind themselves to commit. Lynsey Sharp at 2014 Commonwealth Games winning a medal in the face of adversity.<\/p>\n
