Trying To Make It Happen
…And I Fight On
I am almost 6 months through my Journey To 4.0. and the three areas of my life that I have been focusing on have improved. I have been using “The Fighter’s Mentality” to execute my plan of building a healthier life when it comes to my body, my profession and my family / friends. I shall grade myself now!!! See below.
Health and Fitness – GRADE B+
- Averaging 72 miles of running per month. 9 1/2 minute mile up to 3 miles
- Burning an average of 12,000 calories per month during workouts
- Eating less…Eating Better (NO DIET, just focused on moderation)
- Waistline down to 29 inches
- Mentally and Physically I feel healthy
- Working on new leg routines
Professional Life – GRADE B
- Getting in earlier and leaving earlier. Averaging 11 hour days now instead of 12
- Organizing on a new level
- Attitude upgrade, focusing on less conflict and more solutions for my team
- Planning deeper (in chess terms, looking 4 moves ahead instead of 2 moves ahead)
- Focusing on relationships and customer service more
- Still working on attitude and dealing with frustration on a small-scale
Family and Friends – GRADE B –
- Contacting my close family more often
- Contacting my extended family more often
- Spending more focused time with my wife
- Spending more weekend time with my wife and friends
- Making new friends and building new relationships
- Still working on more time for my wife in the evenings and more time for relaxation
I am not giving my self an “A” in any category for many reasons that are personal to me. Most of which are based on assessments from along the way. Now that I have taken a look at my life, I am constantly changing and upgrading my efforts. The ultimate goal is to still hit what I have defined as my perfect life. (or “better” as I wrote about on Monday)
Please take the time to plan your own personal Journey To 4.0. Start slow and make it a part of your routine. You won’t regret it.
