Get Better This Week
Monday is here! You’ve been blessed with the opportunity to crush another week. How are you going to take advantage of that opportunity? What is your plan to squeeze every bit of potential out of the time you’ve been given?
This week, focus on three things: pushing yourself, learning from your mistakes, and progressing. If you do that, you’ll be better next Monday than you are today.
1) Push yourself
Sunday is a day for rest. If you push yourself hard enough, you will need that rest on Sunday. Give it all you have so you can sit back on Sunday and smile at your hard work.
Make hard work fun. Recognize how much better you are getting by consistently challenging yourself to do your best. Do not get complacent. If you truly want to be great, maximum effort is required.
Do more than you did last week. Work harder than you did. Add another plate onto the bar, run that extra mile, work that extra hour. You will not regret it when you see the fruits of your labor.
2) Learn from your mistakes
If you didn’t reach your potential last week, do whatever you can to avoid those same mistakes this week. You know what works and doesn’t work for you. Emphasize what works.
Inevitably, something will not go exactly how you wanted it to this week. That’s okay! Rebound quickly and smile as you move on to your next task. Make a note of what didn’t work so you can avoid that mistake next week.
Every day, we grow as individuals. We learn constantly whether we know it or not. Small lessons add up over time. Next week, you’ll be smarter than you are now. Look forward to that and take pride in your effort.
3) Progress
Next week, be better than you are going to be this week. Add another step and challenge yourself in a different way. Do not stay still, no matter what. Keep progressing week after week after week.
Plateaus are real. Complacency will not get you to the next level. When you stay in the same spot for too long, progress halts. In order to break free from a plateau and continue to rise, you have to challenge yourself to progress.
As you go about your week, take notice of things you want to improve on next week. Write them down. Realize that you have the ability to progress in a million different ways. All it takes is effort. Go out and give that effort.
