| Stories. Stories. Stories. This week is overwhelm week at Vegvisir and overwhelm is far more psychological that it is physical. Why bring it up this week? The biggest problem we see athletes going through is feeling overwhelmed with everything going on and it is our job to remind you that you came here because you area a priority too! Today we are talking about SUCCESS. Welp, I’m about to ruin your day. So, get ready for this incoming quote………… “You have already achieved some of the dreams that you said would make you happy.” *Pause to feel that rib kick* *Just a little longer* *okay, you’re good. Enjoy your pumpkin spice latte.*Ready for me to fix it with a story from the Pixar film “Soul” “A fish is swimming through the water when comes upon another flounder. He goes up to the flounder and says, “Hey! I’m looking for the ocean! Can you point me in the right direction?” The Flounder says, “This is it.”The fish says, “Naw man, this is water. I’m looking for the Ocean.”The Flounder says, “This is the Ocean.”Often we set goals because we believe happiness is on the other side. What ever that happiness is (feeling sated, excited, content, etc…), we believe that once we achieve what we set out to do, the journey is over. But, our lives aren’t a video game. It doesn’t stay completed when the task is done. Once we achieve our goals, and you eventually do with consistency, there’s still more story left.Meaning that, once that initial feeling fades the reality of humanity sets in and we are back to where we felt. So, now is your chance to realize that you’re in the ocean. To realize that since you’re here, it’s not about finding that success, but living success every day.Now that you realize that, do your goals change? Suddenly are you not chasing 315# back squats, but chasing the feeling of being strong? Instead of being toned, we chase the actions that help us feel confident in who we are? Success is just a series of habits, not a destination. So, start living your success instead of chasing it. To talk with a coach today, click the link found HERE to schedule your No Sweat Intro |
