3 Things to Consider in Anything that you Do

I don't like to do things unless I know WHY I am doing them, + HOW they apply to my goal that I am pursuing. Maybe thats just my internal stubborn woman, but I truly believe it has more to do with the fact that: without understanding why we are doing something, we can't be fully committed to it.

I'm going to use the example of tracking food just so I can paint a clear picture for you. But, keep in mind, this concept can be applied to any other skill/habit that we are doing to get closer to our goal.

Examples of this could be, tracking our lifts in training, recording our bodyweight consistently, and journaling our life. We do any of these things, to keep track of "x", and to pay attention to what is changing, when, and why.

In order for the skills/ habits that we are implementing to be successful, we need to have 3 things:

1. CLARITY - what is our end goal? what are we trying to achieve? and WHY?

2. COMMITMENT - what does it take to achieve your goal? are we willing to do what it takes + willing to make the necessary sacrifices to get there? (know what you are signing up for and commit to it fully)

3. CONSISTENCY - what does it take for something to become second nature? repetition. what does it take for us to become good at anything? repetition.

Since tracking food is our example here, let's plug it into the 3 points above to really get a grip on this idea.

Tracking Food

CLARITY: we want to build a better relationship with food, fuel our body properly so that we have the energy to perform our best in both our personal and professional lives.

COMMITMENT: we are going to plan our meals ahead of time, and we're going to say no to things that don't align with our nutritional goals

CONSISTENCY: in order to make real progress and truly be able to dial in on my nutrition adjustments, we are going to track our food in a food diary/ log, daily

Without keeping track of something, it's impossible to know where to begin making adjustments for our improvement.

Anything that we track is a tool for us to learn and adapt significantly faster than the latter.

So, the next time your coach encourages you to log your food, or a mentor suggests journaling, instead of dreading it, focus on your WHY and how much more attainable your goal is when you decide to commit to the process.

Be your Best,

P.S.

If you'd like to deep dive further into this concept. I'd be happy to share a training that I created that breaks this down in a way that can be applied to ALL areas of your life.
