 For football fans, the season is just getting into its prime. But for baseball fans like me, we are lamenting the end of another season.
In baseball and life, we often hear, “Keep your head in the game,” and “Keep your eye on the ball.” We all intuitively know what that means but, how do you combat the distractions and adversity of everyday life to do that?
First, you must understand that you are the only thing and/or person in your life that you can control. Second, confidence in yourself to achieve your goals is critical. If you believe you can accomplish the goals you set for yourself, you can combat the mental chatter that tells you the goal is impossible.
In order to achieve your highest potential, you have to create a plan. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
Create a Clearly Defined Mission: A mission defines why you are setting the goal, how you want to be perceived, and what you want to accomplish.
Focus on the Process: Break down your mission into bite sized pieces. Focus on only one piece at a time. The process can be broken down into the form of a timeline with milestones, a to do list, or by steps. Use whatever format feels right to you however, it is critical that you write down your mission and the process.
Control Yourself: This is the hard part. Distractions can cause your process to be derailed unless you stand firm. You control your time, your reaction, and your actions. Set boundaries consistent with your plan and adjust your plan and timeline when necessary.
Trust Yourself: Understand and believe you are able to achieve your goals, able to work your plan, and able to realize your dreams.
Ask for Help: If you are having difficulty setting goals or making your plan, consider seeking out a life coach, such as myself or a weight loss coach, such as Brad LaTour to help you get started and to keep you on track.
The acts of planning, controlling your actions confidently, and trusting your abilities will allow you to have your head in the game and your eye on the ball at all times.
I will leave you with two of my favorite baseball quotes:
"Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player."
~Author Unknown
"You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain."
~Leo Durocher, in New York Times, 16 May 1965
