Floating
When you have a goal, it’s easy to do the hard things. It’s easy to wake up early, eat right, cut out distractions and overcome many obstacles. The hard part is when you don’t have that goal - you feel like you’re floating and don’t know where you belong or what you should do next. Maybe you failed. Maybe you were rejected. Maybe you’re injured. Maybe you've reached a point and realized this wasn’t the path for you.
The fact is, your lifestyle when you are striving for goals and when you are floating should not change. Sure, specifics may change - your type of training or nutrition, the books you read or where your focus lies, but your lifestyle stays constant. Let me rephrase, your HEALTHY, GOAL-ORIENTED lifestyle stays constant.
This means you still:
wake up early
focus on the nutrition fueling your body
keep a consistent training program
challenge yourself everyday
abide by a system that keeps you productive
block out distractions
You still keep the same lifestyle that you have when you are chasing dreams. Goals are necessary for us to grow, develop, and succeed, but sometimes we endure periods where goals become blurry or even absent in our lives. This is normal and expected. YOU have to track down those goals and manifest them. YOU have to take raw ideas and formulate them into something tangible and attainable - they don’t just fall in your lap.
If you have goals, keep them visible and in the forefront of your mind. If you are floating, then your next task is to find your next goal. Research, Reflect and Respond.
Believe in your dreams. They were given to you for a reason.
