If you are trying to lose weight, you probably are eager to learn some success tips to better your chances of reaching your goal. There are several things you can do in the area of success that will help you not only in your fitness journey, but in all of your life. Let's take a look at a few of these things.
One of the first things you can do is to try to resist too much distraction in our world filled with distraction! Our phones are ringing, we have emails coming in, texts bombarding us and voice mails to listen to. We are trying to multi-task, but it is not working very well. It is also bad for our health.
An interesting point on multi-tasking: there was a study done on how well we are able to multitask and how it affects our brains. What the study found is that while people are multi-tasking, they suffer a ten point drop in their IQ score! Is it any wonder that most of us are having a hard time getting the things done that we need to?
But there is more to the story. Researchers also did a study on what happened to the IQ of people when they get high. The results were interesting: people who get high only suffer a decrease of five points in their IQ.
Multitasking doesn't work; it's much better to focus. We lose 28% of our productive energy when we try to do too much at once. How does this apply to your fitness? When you're at a session, be there. Don't be somewhere else, hanging onto your phone, as though the world won't be ok without you for 30-60 minutes. When you are at home, be present with your family, your nutrition, etc.--give it attention and focus versus mindlessly eating, or being distracted by TV.
World Class people are minimalists. Successful people chop away at the noise that's distracting them. They can shrug off interruptions that most people don't even realize are stealing from them. They don't need all the TV shows, news channels, magazines, idle chatter and entertainment assailing us at all times. They take 10 minutes out of every 50 minutes of work to freshen up the mind, clear it of clutter and go back in to work with renewed focus.
