CHARACTERISTICS OF CHAMPIONS (PART 1)

 

INTRODUCTION

All Champions have a broader vision of what they want to create. It could be winning an Olympic gold medal, hoisting a World Cup trophy, or setting a new world record.

Below are the features of Champion.

1. Vision

Whatever the vision, all champions are working towards something bigger. Because the bottom line is this:

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there.''

I think some people are panicking because they have to plan for the rest of their lives. , but the vision changes over time, so don't panic. What matters is that you have something to work towards.

So ask yourself what you want to create. And start taking small steps to achieve this.

Then the question is "How?" This brings me to number two.

2. Goals

Once a champion has a vision, they translate that vision into achievable goals. There seems to be a widespread misconception about goals that if you don't achieve them, you think you've failed.

But I want you to think of goals as milestones/landmarks to measure your progress towards your vision.

Another important thing about goals is not the goals themselves, but what the WHO forces you to do to achieve them. It's a small but important difference.

3. Focus on Process/Presence

When goals are set, champions focus on the process. You have to walk home from wherever you are tonight, but you don't need your car's headlights to shine right through your front door. You have to be farsighted enough to take the next step.

What`s the next step you can take towards your goals? If you`re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or intimidated, the next step is too big and you need to go smaller.

The reason focusing on the process is so important is that if you`re always just thinking about your long-term vision and goals, you`re going to miss out on the amazing opportunities you could never have imagined already right in front of you.

This is how the vision changes; we work towards one thing but are open to new possibilities as they emerge.

4. Habits and Ritual

You've probably seen Rafael Nadal right before he serves or Dan Biggar right before he scores. They have a little weird routine like this before every shot.

But they're not doing this to make people laugh. You won't even hear people laughing at all. This is because champions develop habits and rituals that allow them to get into the flow/zone.

Because when you develop habits, the most important actions you take to achieve your goals become automatic.

His two most important rituals that everyone can use are the morning ritual and the evening ritual.

As the days go by, things get chaotic, people demand our attention, and things don't go as planned. But if you can end your day by spending the first and last two hours of your day doing something that will set you up for success, you'll be far ahead of everyone else. (PS: Checking email or social media does not count).

5. Health

After quitting my job and backpacking through Southeast Asia, I became a certified personal trainer. But you don't have to go that far to learn how to manage your health.

The three most important areas are eating, moving, and sleeping.

Food: Stick to what comes from the ground or has a mother, not what comes from a box or bag.

Exercise: Shift from the idea that exercise means going to the gym for an hour or two a day and then sitting down to think that exercise is continuous movement throughout the day (no, no). You don't have to do it every day) by train).

Sleep: Sleep is the most underrated, neglected, and most important area of ​​health. Sleep isn't something you do when you're doing nothing else, it's an important time for your body to naturally heal and create new connections in your brain.
