Max Interval Circuit and Believing in your Goals

Today was a brutal cardio workout.  My legs are still sore from Plyo Legs, and my upper body (pecs and lats) are really hurting from yesterday's 30/15.  That's a good pain, but it really hit me during Insanity Max Interval Circuit.  The push up jacks, and full body drills were rough, and my legs fatigued on every squat-jump move really fast.   I pushed through and got a great workout though.

One of my Coaches has been struggling, and though he has great goals, I believe there is more to accomplishing them than just writing them down; you have to believe they are already in existence.  I wrote the following to my Focus Group, and I think it hits home with fitness, business, and more.

This is a lesson for all of us:  Even if you read the books, even if you write the goals every day, unless you firmly believe them, and fill your mind with the emotions, thoughts, and feelings that go along with being the success those goals say, it's just words.    You can't just say "I'm a Diamond Coach."  You have to feel like a Diamond Coach, letting yourself feel and believe that you are already there.   You have to feel the same confidence that I do, feel the same excitement and believe with as much conviction as I do.

If your mind believes you are still a struggling Emerald Coach going nowhere with this, that is where you will be.  Your mind is living in the situation as it is now, when it needs to live in the situation as it will be!    Your mind needs to honestly, firmly, 110% and without conviction, believe it is already the success you want to be!!!

I hope this message reaches out to everyone.    It's not enough to just write down the goals, you have to visualize them as though you are already there.  You can't allow your mind to dwell on where it is right now, it needs to live in the future.  Writing down the goals is not enough, you have to close your eyes, make yourself feel the excitement, feel the confidence, the emotions of being the success you want to be..then it will start to make that happen because your mind will believe it's already there.

Make yourself believe you are all already Diamond Coaches, because when you do that, it will happen.
