ADAPT TO THE UNEXPECTED
Because life brings constant changes…BE PREPARED! Many of the changes that life brings us are unexpected, unwanted and sometimes so drastic that they can leave us in shock, still and unable to move. There are times that we can feel like those changes are like little stones on our way, but other times they look like the Fitz Roy in Argentina.
So, what to do to prepare yourself to the unexpected?
1. TAKE CONTROL OF THE THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL.
For example, you normally workout in the evenings, but now that you can meet your friends, the weather is quite nice and the pubs have reopened, you want to make plans with your friends in the evenings, but at the same time you want to stick to your program…so just wake up earlier and move your workouts to the mornings!
2. ACCEPT THE NEW CIRCUMSTANCES AND ADAPT TO THEM.
Things get more complicated when the unexpected and the unwanted mountains arrive to our lives…so the sooner you accept the new circumstances, stop thinking about how things were before and you start to adapt to your “new life” the better for you!. For example, imagine you have been training hard to run a half marathon for months now and you sprain your ankle…what are you going to do? Of course you are going to feel like s*** until you accept the new situation, but this doesn’t mean you will never be able to run a half marathon, you will just need to postpone it and you will have even more time to prepare yourself for it (just trying to think positive).
So…don’t give up! Sometimes you may fall when you find a stone on your way, but you will get up, continue your way and the next time you find a similar stone you will know how to jump or to go around it! And these stones will help you when you find a huge mountain on your way, to be prepared to climb it!
Have a great afternoon pretty people!
