We’re in the last lap of 2023 — and if you want to end the year with a giant exclamation point of accomplishment, there’s ONE THING you can do
Zero in on your “Sphere of Control.”
That means focusing on things you actually have control over, like:
- Actions
- Mindset
- Efforts
… And letting go of everything else.
Here’s a graphic that shows how this sphere works:
When you prioritize the elements within your control, you can propel yourself forward toward your health and fitness goals. Consider a few health and fitness examples that fall within your sphere of control:
A few health and fitness examples of your sphere of control:
- Workouts
- The quality of the food you eat
- Performance and consistency
Plus, your efforts in your “things you can control” circle carry a bonus. They can power the “things you can influence” by helping you make gains there, too.
Some health/fitness-related examples in your sphere of influence:
- Establishing an optimal sleep environment is essential. Begin by setting up your bedroom to be cool, dark, and quiet. This contributes to ensuring you get a great night of sleep.
- Being consistent with your workouts and nutrition, to lose weight or get into shape
- Keeping an up-to-date calendar (including time for workouts and self-care), to stop your schedule from getting out of control
There are also things you can’t control or influence, no matter how hard you try!
To name a few: the weather, the passing of time, and your genetics.
It’s much better to work WITH those things than drive yourself nuts trying to control them.
I do a quick scan of my “sphere of control” every few months. It helps me streamline our thinking so I can focus on the things that I can do to move me forward, faster.
Right now, for me, that means staying consistent with workouts, blocking off time in my calendar NOW so that we don’t get sidetracked by all the hustle of the holidays.
What does it mean for you? What are your top 2-3 actions to put on “repeat” for the rest of the year?
Let’s do this!
