Nah, I’m not talking about the red dungree clad, mushroom chomping, Princess Daisy woo-ing, Bowser fighting Nintendo character!
Rather racing legend Mario Andretti.
One of only two drivers in history to win races in Formula One, IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship, and NASCAR – you don’t get much better in his field.
When asked how he was able to drive so fast, so consistently, he’d usually say something along the lines of “I focus on the road infront of me, not the walls I’m avoiding.”
This, of course, isn’t a blog about driving faster.
The analogy is in achieving what you want.
It’s all too easy to get distracted by the obstacles on your journey to a body you like the look and feel of more.
People will always try and flabotage you, I’m afraid.
Offer you shit food.
Tell you that “you’ve got boring” or “are over-doing it” to make the themselves feel better.
Things will always get in the way – challenges around eating out, being away with work, planning ahead, etc.
The obstacles will always be there.
When you focus on them, they pull you off your route.
When you focus on the road infront of you………
When you focus on the the changes to how your body looks and feels……….
To your mood, your sleep, stress levels, aches and pains, sex drive, etc……….
All that other stuff just, kinda, fades into the background, doesn’t it?
Much love,
Jon ‘Dick Johnson’ Hall and Matt ‘Duck Waddle’ Nicholson
P.S. As usual, 10 points for those middle names – without googling.
P.P.S. The wife admitted to googling something the other day. I think I may have fixed her strange insistence on ‘Yahooing’ things.
P.P.P.S. If you couldn’t make last nights’ find-out-more meeting, details of the next one in a month are up at myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting.
