SELF MASTERY:

THINK BETTER, LIVE BETTER

Paralysis by analysisBy Ryan Charles Reyes

Who among you would like to be great? You cannot be great when you keep asking yourself average questions because it is given, when you ask your self average questions, you will give average answers. You want to be better? Then ask better questions because for sure, your mind will give you better answers.

NO CHAMPION HOWEVER GREAT HE IS, CAN ENDURE, UNLESS THAT CHAMPION EXPERIENCES SOME SORT OF VICTORY.

SO WHERE TO START?GOAL SETTING

The first and most important step is to set a goal for yourself. Here are some tips to make your goal more achievable instead of just a dream: example gym even if you read all the books , watched all the videos, but if you don’t flex that muscle there will be no progress.

S – make it Specific. A good goal is very definite. i.e. Increase my barbell Snatch to bodyweight (90kg) by the end of the year.

M – is for Measureable. Using my previous example, I have done that by setting a weight goal to beat. If I lift that weight I have accomplished my goal.

A – is for Achievable. It would make little sense for me with my body type and experience with Olympic lifting, to try to beat the world record for my weight class at 187kg.

R – is for Realistic. While an eventual goal of 1.5 times bodyweight may be achievable, for the next year it will be impossible. Hoever, my goal of a bodyweight snatch won’t be.

T – is for Time based. By setting a deadline for your expectations you drastically increase your chances of success.
