Keeping cool

This past week and a half has cost me some numbers and a lack of staying on my game. It sure doesn't take long to fall behind in your numbers if you have unexpected deviations and you can't meet as many of your numbers or requirements daily that you want too. Normally when this occurs I start to beat myself up on self discipline and accountability, and of course fish for justifiable (in my mind) excuses. I'm not doing that anymore. As long as I can get anything of something in each day I am going to meet my requirements. I have been staying positive and telling myself its going to work out and it won't be that hard to catch up and remain focused on what exactly it is I am trying to accomplish. Of course its not easy and you have to be mindful at all times. This is a very difficult challenge to anybody. Nothing beneficial comes easy, it takes hard work and failure can happen, but thats how we learn and improve. I find if I tell myself its not that bad and approach it from an on lookers point instead of being in the trenches things work out well and I see success ahead, its easier to keep cool and not start to develop that sense of overwhelming and doubt in yourself, freaking out over numbers or something that hasn't been started yet. This is where a very common and very modern habit comes in, I quit. This is just too much, I don't have time, I'll try again next year, all excuses we hear and at times, use everyday somewhere, at some time. Well to hell with that! Full steam ahead for the I ho chaun team 2012! One more thing that has been great for learning and drive is reading everyone elses expierences. It gives you a great sense of never being alone and some really good insight. Until next week.
