You know what to do..

but..

so many options..

so much information..

distractions

entertainment

errands 

fires to put out

work, home, family, finances, the car, the mortgage, the lack of sleep, the low back pain, the stress, the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach..

what to do..

in less than a minute you lose your desire

your focus

your purpose

the spark

the force that created it beyond your conscious doing

it loses its innate FORCE

so quickly 

what should you do?

how do you get past it.. 

beat it

overcome

transcend

WIN

so many games

tricks

tactics

strategies

and each one MAY work.. for a moment

but you add another on top of another and another.. and you are right back in the same dilemma

no action

stuck in neutral

no leverage on that slippery slope in neutral

where should you turn?

instead of thinking

or ALLOWING your thoughts to take over

GO

DO

1 rep

just 1 

a pushup

down to the ground instantly

I'm doing one pushup

my attention is completely ON the execution of this 1 repetition

feeling my feet and hands grip the ground

my entire body tighten up and straighten out like a bridge

bracing the midsection

tensing the muscles in the upper body

squeezing the glutes

moving 

face towards the grass

every body part doing its job

breathing natural

pausing at the bottom

pressing against the ground, back to the top

1 rep

and then

another

the mind did not have a chance to get involved

to stop you, to make you feel lazy or weak or confused or tired or bored or distracted

1 squat

1 pushup

1 isometric lunge 

hold for 1 second as tight as possible

2, 3, 4, 5 

an experiment that will show you

more than any "how-to" video on social media

1 rep, total attention and intention

to see what you see
