Being successful takes hard work, time, overcoming obstacles and dedication to achieve your goals— you can say that again!! It doesn’t happen over night–darn it!! Unfortunately it doesn’t just fall out of the sky and land on your lap–Darn it! You have to invest time and tears into your dreams. It is important to have a plan to get from point A to B but once you have your plan, you are set and ready to go! Planning, as we all know is key but along with planning and having a plan comes the importance of being flexible with that plan! Change tends to set us off our rocker and if we aren’t apt to adapt to change and be flexible with our plans, change can cause stress and anxiety. For some reason, we are creatures of the know, wanting to know exactly what is around the corner and in our future. Life is very unpredictable–darn it! The best way to approach unpredictable situations is to develop a sense of flexibility and “go with the flow” mentality. Continue to set long-term goals, but keep your plans adaptable, just in case life decides to get unpredictable on you!
PLAN: Get up and go to the gym 1st thing!
FLEXIBILITY: Darn it, wake up to a sick dog (no fun)– I will have to adjust and go to the gym after work!
PLAN: Bring my food with me to work, packed and ready to go!
FLEXIBILITY: Was in such a hurry, totally forgot my lunch in the refrigerator! I guess I will have to use my Emergency Tuna and rice cakes that I keep at my desk along with my bag of protein powder and almonds to get me through the day!
PLAN: I am excited to try those Tabata Treadmill Sprints on the treadmill tomorrow!!! š
FLEXIBILITY: Shoot, all the Treadmills are taken, I guess I will have to do Tabata’s tomorrow and go with the step-mill today OR I can do the Tabata Sprints on the Step-mill!
PLAN: On this family Vacation I am set on brining my own snacks and sticking with my nutritional plan! Nothing is giong to get in my way!
FLEXIBILITY: The family decided to go out to Mexican Food and I am starving… I will have to order a healthy option and just go with the flow. I choose to be flexible because that is part of my plan. Ceviche over a house salad sounds delicious and will work just fine! š
We find ourselves in Situations ALL the time that can cause us to be uncertain but if you learn to be flexible and adjust to whatever comes your way, you will see that flexibility is a big part of your plan! You will easily see that things happen but there is always a solution but you have to be willing to adjust to the situation.
