A mindset shift that will change how you live
Beautiful people,
Happy Wednesday.
A quick one from me. I’m in Perth this week, spending time with my business coach (yes, my belief in coaching extends well beyond the gym) and catching up with a great mate who runs a world class facility called Athlete X.
Athlete X is about as Virtus as a place can be without the blue turf and a V plastered on every wall. Mel and the team live and breathe growth, community and the idea of building lifelong athletes. I’ve admired them from afar for a long time, and it’s a privilege to spend time inside their community (even though I’m missing ours).
One of their mantras resonates heavily
‘Don’t have to, get to.’
A simple shift in perspective, but it changes everything. How you show up for a session. How you change your kid’s nappy. How you pay your bills. How you move through your life.
Perspective matters. We get to choose how we respond, whether the moment is good, challenging, or somewhere in between.
Life gets pretty wonderful when we notice everything we already have, instead of focusing on what we don’t.
As the immortal David Lynch says: focus on the donut, not the hole.
Today, take a moment to think about something you might be dreading. Shift the mindset from ‘have to’ to ‘get to’ and see how your nervous system responds.
Onwards.
