Burst Of the Week: Win Today! How are you? How was your weekend? I trust you had a great one! Well, I almost quit this weekend! Let me share with you what happened. As I was struggling to catch up to my 18 year old daughter (running up and down stadium stairs on a Saturday morning workout), I became discouraged as I saw how much further ahead she was and as my legs, heart and body began to fatigue. Ever been there? You know, you set a goal for yourself, to reach something you aspire to (such as losing weight, getting in shape, getting out of debt or improving relationships) but you begin to get weary, tired and discouraged and start to focus on all the reasons to quit. I was doing just that, ready to quit, thinking about all the reasons why, such as; "I'm tired", "It's too hot!" "I'll never catch up!" you name it, I was searching for any reason to stop. But, as I was slowly going up the endless stadium stairs I was reminded how achieving any goal in life (like finishing a grueling high school soccer stair workout :) of a famous saying and tag line we've used for years at Burst, "Win Today!" It quickly reminded me to focus on "winning just one step at a time". It was amazing! As I changed my thinking from "I'll never catch her!" to "Sean, just win one step at a time!" how much my thinking, energy and resolve drastically changed. I went from almost quitting the workout to catching up to my daughter (Ok, she still beat me by a ton-but I was a lot closer than ever and I finished!) The best news, I was reminded of a valuable lesson I hope helps you this week too! You may be discouraged, tired or ready to quit, but I want to encourage you to just "Win Today!" Focus on "one step" (drinking a glass of water, moving one more minute than you did yesterday, eating one extra serving of vegetables, calling a loved one and telling them how much they mean to you) to move you closer to the life you desire. Burst Challenge: So this week, ask yourself, "How can I Win Today?" What is one thing you can focus on today, that will move you one step closer to realizing your goals and your dreams? Share it with a friend or family member or me and watch your resolve change! Oh, and to help remind you of taking this step, here's a Burst Challenge-using, you guessed it, THE STAIRS! (See the video below. BTW-That's my daughter Brooke and I'll catch her next time!!) :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM-JpgF_vLg Love to hear how you "Win Today!" Thank you for your inspiration! You helped me this weekend more than you'll ever know! :) Have a great week and remember to BURST ON! my friend! BURST ON! Coach Sean Foy ...
