The best thing about training like a boxer is that after the first punch, the second one’s already on its way! The mindset of a boxer is to become better in every aspect of what it would take to bring out the fighter within & no matter who you are or where you’re from, everybody has a fighter within. We achieve this by having clear goals to fuel motivation.
Goal Setting provides us with a clear focus on where we place our energy, aligning our time & focus into the direction of our selected Mindset, Nutrition & Training Goals. In order to decide what our goals are, it’s important we set time to reflect on our current accomplishments at the present time, envisioning what exactly we wish to achieve & why!
The key in achieving goals is to ensure they are clear, precise, relevant and also that they make sense to you. Try talking yourself through why these goals are important to you, creating a road map on how you wish to achieve them eliminating any unnecessary ones. Keep your goals personal as it creates a strong motivation to achieve them.
Goals need to be fun, they need to excite you! When you are in a quiet space, think about the things that get your blood pumping! How would you love to feel, what would make you feel healthy and happy? Try one short term goal each for Mindset, Training & Nutrition. Make the goals selective, measurable, attainable & set a time to achieve them by. Also do the same for long term goals, of which once you complete the first set of short term, tick them off and continue the journey reassessing the short until you reach your long!
