What a strange feeling. My shoulders are extremely sore from the focused workout. I noticed that after the workout yesterday I felt pumped in my shoulder area and today I just feel exhausted in that area. At the same time, I absolutely love the feeling that I get from a great workout like that. It got me thinking about how focus can make you feel good. I am a big proponent of remaining focused in all areas of life for there to be success. Before we talk about focus, let’s discuss what focus isn’t. Focus is not spending long hours on something. It is not just “paying attention” to something. It is not just being consistent about something. Those things don’t even approximate focus. Focus is the unbridled passion for something. It is the ability to be single-minded about something. It is getting into the zone and not leaving it. You can’t be focused if you are distracted all the time, so focus is also about removing the distractions. What distractions can derail your fitness routine? There are so many that it would be impossible to list them all. The most common distraction is just life itself. Life can get in the way by making you too busy. However, I find this to be a poor excuse. We make time for the things that are important to us, so how can we claim that we don’t have time to workout and get in shape? Another common distraction life throws at us is work. We work long hours and we are tired at the end of the day. Even this is a poor excuse. You can always get up earlier if you need to so that you can fit your workout in before the workday ever begins. This is exactly why I workout in the morning. I do not want work to become a distraction for me. It works and my consistency is the highest it has ever been. Remember that focus is what will bring you success. Without it you will just float from this to that, never really accomplishing your end goal.
