Since I last wrote a blog on this subject, I have moved on apace.  This week, I ran for a full hour non-stop.  Of course, you do realise when I say run that in actual fact I mean jog.  Nevertheless, it is a wonderful achievement and 9 weeks ago, when I started running just 2 minutes at a time, I would not have believed it possible.

 

What I have noticed is that my breathing when running has improved enormously and I’m now able to talk at the same time – something which was impossible to do in the first few weeks.  So what have I learnt through this process which can be applied to other areas of my life?  It’s quite simple.  It’s the three Cs:

COURAGE:  We are human beings.  Sometimes we need courage to take the first step and then continue to take the necessary steps until we reach our goal.

 

COMMITMENT:  When we commit to something whole-heartedly, it becomes easier to take those steps.

 

COACHING:  Having a coach on your side can make a massive difference in boosting your courage and commitment.

 

So, if you have a goal that you want to achieve, and you’re procrastinating, find yourself a reputable coach who will help you get there.
