Focus on the process

One phrase I really don’t like when it comes to fitness is the phrase “when I get to my goals…” as this generally implies the mindset that there is some type of end point in this journey.

In my experience, there really is no endpoint. As you pursue your original goals, you’ll most often find that you continue to want to achieve more and more.

And even if you do get to that original “end point” you have to keep going because if you don’t you’ll quickly lose everything that you worked so hard to achieve.

What I usually suggest is to simply make the process itself the actual goal. Focus on sticking to the plan. Do the things you need to do day in and day out and ultimately those physical goals will take care of themselves.

But more importantly, once you reach them you’ll be able to continue doing what you’re doing because continuing with the process is the goal in itself.
