If you are trying to lose weight, you
probably are eager to learn some success tips to better your chances of
reaching your goal. There are several things you can do in the area of
success that will help you not only in your fitness journey, but in all
of your life. Let's take a look at a few of these things.
Resisting distraction is one of the best things you can do to help you to reach your goals. We are all pulled away from focusing on things by our phones, emails, voice messages, text messages and even Facebook. This causes us to attempt to multitask, but honesty, it does not work. Multitasking simply does not exist as the wonderful thing that so many people think it is.
Check out this funny, but not so funny fact. A study was done on our ability to multitask and what happens to our brains during it. Conclusion: the IQ of people while they multitask drops 10 IQ points! No wonder people struggle to get things done at work, at home and with their fitness.
But there is more to the story. Researchers also did a study on what happened to the IQ of people when they get high. The results were interesting: people who get high only suffer a decrease of five points in their IQ.
Multitasking doesn't work; it's much better to focus. We lose 28% of our productive energy when we try to do too much at once. How does this apply to your fitness? When you're at a session, be there. Don't be somewhere else, hanging onto your phone, as though the world won't be ok without you for 30-60 minutes. When you are at home, be present with your family, your nutrition, etc.--give it attention and focus versus mindlessly eating, or being distracted by TV.
World Class people are minimalists. Successful people chop away at the noise that's distracting them. They can shrug off interruptions that most people don't even realize are stealing from them. They don't need all the TV shows, news channels, magazines, idle chatter and entertainment assailing us at all times. They take 10 minutes out of every 50 minutes of work to freshen up the mind, clear it of clutter and go back in to work with renewed focus.
