As I’ve noted many times in my EagleLaunch blogs, our mind is so powerful whether it be through the things we imagine or the stories we tell ourselves.
Training your mind for the accomplishment of your 2019 BHAC is so important.
The accomplishment of my 2018 BHAC-completing Ironman Maryland-was a whole lot of mind over matter. Throughout 2018 I became more aware of my thoughts than ever before. Quite frequently I found myself battling through the mental barriers of what I was trying to accomplish more than the physical.
A technique I utilized to help me overcome the lies my thoughts were generating, was to picture myself running across the finish line at Ironman Maryland with my fingers pointed to the sky in thanks for all the amazing things God had done with my life.
A result of being willing to get uncomfortable.
That picture/thought got me through the long swims, long runs, long bike rides, long days, aching body parts, but most of all, the thoughts of whether or not it was worth it.
Is the accomplishment of your 2019 BHAC ‘worth it?’
Have you pictured what your life will look like when you achieve your 2019 BHAC?
As Elbert Hubbard notes, Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal…I found this to be true with so many of my BHAC’S through the years.
