Week 6

Goal of the week- Focus

Every morning, come up with one goal to focus on.  It can be something you want to accomplish, or something you feel would make the day awesome.  Write it in your journal in the morning, and check it off at night.

Each day is an opportunity to get closer to your goals.  You all should have at least one goal on the board in the gym that you want to accomplish in 2016.  If you haven’t done this yet, then THAT is your first goal- to make a goal!  The only way to work toward your larger goals is to take one step toward them every single day.  So, before you start your day, decide on one thing you can do that will move you in the direction you want to go, and get it down on paper.  

Maybe you have a lot of things hanging over your head that you need to work through, and they don’t have anything at all to do with your 2016 goal.  That’s ok!  Pick one thing that needs to be done, and make that your goal.  Those baskets of laundry that need to be folded may not be part of your goal for the year, but staying on top of those little things DO actually help clear the path for you to keep moving forward.  And it always helps to be able to check that one item off your list in the evening and feel like you have done something productive every single day.  Keep in mind that your goal one day may be to kick your feet up and actually take 15 minutes to yourself and relax.  Doing nothing can be productive for you, too!  Anything that meets a current need or desire, or something that will make you happy counts.  The point is to focus on what is important to you, and to get it done.  Add focus to every single day, to ensure that you use each one to move in the direction you desire to go.

Week 5

Congratulations!  You guys have complete the on ramp section of our SEAL training program.  By this point you have learned that each session is much more than a workout… we don’t just roll in the door, kick our own butts, and walk back out.  The attention to detail is what matters here, from the breathing, to the baseline, to the workout briefing, to the yoga and/or stretching cool down.  There is a protocol that we strictly follow in order to be sure each training session is holistic and addresses our bodies and our minds, our training and our recovery.  Now that we have this system down, it’s time to move on to the basic training phase!  

Goal of the week- practice gratitude

Focus on the positive things that happened every day.  Record three things you are grateful for in your journal nightly.  

One of the aspects of the SEALFIT training program that sets it apart from most others, is the importance it places on mental training and a positive attitude.  Mark Devine makes it clear that you need to get your mind right in order to get your body right.  He says that you shouldn’t even begin to tackle any physical challenge until you have already won it in your mind.  In order to reach any of your goals, it’s important to begin with an optimistic attitude;  a negative attitude certainly won’t get you very far.

One very simple way to work on cultivating optimism is by practicing gratitude. By focusing on the positive things in your life, no matter how small, you will begin to see and attract MORE positive things, and the negative things will disappear.  If you focus on the negative, you will only continue to create more negative.  Creating an optimistic attitude improves your psychological health, which improves your physical health.  It’s all connected!  We can’t optimize our physical health without optimizing our mental health, so it’s important to be as driven and consistent with your mental exercises as you are with the workouts in the gym.  This practice will only take a few minutes every night, but the key is consistency!  Don’t skip a single day.  Your training journal will nowcontain your workout results, water intake, daily nutrition, and three things you’re grateful for every day.
