Too often in our lives we’re in go mode. In a race, before it begins the first two words are , “Ready” and “Set.”
What’s often overlooked is they’re said as a command as much as they’re said as a question. This is the same for a boxing match as it is a race.
So in the spirit of the new year, let’s zoom in on the first two often overlooked terms and how it can help you in the new year.
Ready
Get prepared for what’s to come.
Set
Get into your position / posture to set you up for success.
Focus first on your ready. Maybe you’re not ready yet. Maybe you’re still in vacation mode. Maybe you’re still stuck in 2020. Do what you need to do to get ready first. Maybe this is reflection, writing a list, de-stressing, scheduling the time…whatever it is, complete your “ready.”
Then set.
If you’re not set, go back to ready. You know when you’re set; you can feel it. Maybe it’s when your mind is locked-in and your body’s prepared to follow-suit. Maybe it looks different for you. You know when you’re set. This is a necessary part of your preparation before you can truly activate — to go.
Get ready.
Get set
Then and only then, go.
We’re getting ready and set for a bold 2021. We’re inviting you along and curious to see what we’ll find out together and what unfolds.
Stay attuned.
