Do you remember when you first learned how to drive a car?
The mere act of getting behind the wheel totally consumed you. Driving required so much of your attention and energy that you couldn’t even have the radio on.
But as time went on something magical happened. Not only were you able to drive with the radio on but you’ve now added talking on the phone and text messaging to the mix.
What was the variable in having the confidence and faith to safely and effectively navigate a 2 ton machine towards your chosen destination?
It was the Acquisition Of Skill.
When you gained the required skills of driving your car, the energy demand to perform the task was much less than when you first started.
The acquisition of skill allowed you to divert your energy towards other tasks. It allowed you to drive with less effort. Gaining the skill gave you the confidence and the faith to know that you can succeed at will.
If you have achieved any level of physical excellence (i.e. weight loss, strength, endurance, etc) and are struggling to maintain your gains, then it is time to explore the concept of skill acquisition.
Real physical excellence, once achieved is a non struggle. It will still take effort but your efforts will be more effective because you are doing it with skill. If you have lost weight, acquiring the skill of weight management will help you keep it off. If you have truly acquired the skill of strength, then your training will be ever evolving. Elite physical excellence students rarely hit training “plateaus” because they understand that adjusting their nutrition and training by listening to their body is a skill that helps them continue to make progress despite changes in their energy levels and environment.
The mindset for achieving permanent physical excellence is to turn your goals into a quest for skill.
If you focus on mastering the skill the final result will be all but guaranteed…forever.
Much Chi..
