Focus is something we need, if we want to succeed and get results. Whatever the challenge having Commitment and Determination can/will let you complete the task before you. Namely, having the Focus to stay on course. So how to we develop the focus part of the equation?
- Commitment + Determination = Focus
One of the first things to developing good focusing skills is to recognize what are the things that make you lose focus:
- Do you get bored?
- Do you let other things get in the way of current projects?
- Are you surrounded by people who make you lose focus?
- Do you find it difficult to manage your time?
I'm sure that you could name a few more to the list above. But the main part of this exercise is for you to recognize what are the distractions that cause you to verve off track. Staying Committed to Fitness and having the Determination to stay Consistent can be a challenge for a lot of people.
