Mental Training and Motivation

Many people don't even know what they really want to achieve. Because many have no personal vision. In competitive sports, it's clear - victory or the trophy is the focus. But what is the trophy in your life? Or in other words: What is your vision? Many people lack not only physical but also mental endurance. This is where Mental Training comes in. In a time when everything is supposed to happen as quickly as possible, it is not easy to practice patience and be persistent and disciplined. Those who are capable of this will always be one step ahead of their fellow human beings in other areas of life. Endurance is not a question of physical constitution, but arises in the mind. Without endurance, Sir Edmund would never have been able to climb Mount Everest as the first person, or without discipline and willpower, top wrestler Florian Gnägi would never have won a Swiss wrestling festival (Swiss national sport). If you wish to achieve a goal - and like almost everything in this subject, this applies not only to sports - then your mind is the engine for this, not your muscles. Endurance includes: patience, trust in oneself and one's abilities, a clear goal, and a motivation. Always proceed step by step, create a clear vision with a clear strategy for it. If you want too much at once, you lose your focus and can no longer concentrate on the essentials. The consequence of this is overwhelm, and you put yourself in danger of giving up prematurely because you get stuck and eventually can no longer believe that you will really reach the goal. If you aim to exercise and run 10 km in 40 minutes, but your starting position is 70 minutes for this distance, then you should create a more realistic plan. This means taking into account your current condition, thinking about how often and how long you can train per week. Also, do not forget that your joints and muscles may give you some difficulties at the beginning if you are completely untrained. So, factor in some time for potential physical difficulties at the start. In everyday life, these are the small challenges that prevent us from achieving a goal. Do it like the experienced marathon runner who smiles at those who overtake him at the beginning of the marathon while he runs at his rhythm with a steady, deliberate pace. In this way, he soon overtakes the other runners who overestimate their strengths and after a short time have to pause exhausted at the wayside. Create weekly or monthly plans, taking into account times of stagnation. Remember: A step-by-step method that focuses on the essentials and brings a steady pace will surely get you to your goal! First, ask yourself the following questions:

• What is your specific goal or even vision?
• What are you willing to invest for it (not just financially)?
• Do you have a specific, personal, or health problem?
• What changes do you need to make?
• What do you need to let go of to achieve your goal?

Many people want to achieve a lot, but they are not willing to invest the necessary effort. So, become aware of this and answer the above questions before pursuing your goals. For more information on Mental Training, click here: http://www.trainers-excellence.de/redner/filippo-larizza.html
