Okay so this week hasn't quite gone as planned. You might say it was the week of "Plan B". Ever have those days? Or weeks? Or hey, it may feel like a "Plan B" month! After my computer stopped playing nice and had to be taken in on Tuesday, I felt so out of sorts. Unable to stick to my normal routine, let alone get the work done I needed to. Then, what do you know, my car battery decided it was calling it quits. Enter another detour to Plan B.
So what do we do when we feel thrown off track? Some of you may feel this way in your life, your fitness goals, professional work, proper nutrition.... How do we not only dive head first into Plan B, but how do we get back on track with as much momentum as we had previously?
My first suggestion it to feel the frustration or anger, and then let it go. Remember last week's motivator, we can't put energy to things we can't control. So feel the feelings, and then move on. There is a reason this could be happening. A wise person told me to ask myself the following question when I get thrown a curve ball, "How is what's happening right now actually perfect?" You may be surprised at the answer you come up with.
Then put the feelings aside and refocus on your goal. If you've fallen off your exercise routine because your child has been sick, create the time to put those workouts right back on your calendar once he/she is better. Maybe a deadline at work has you getting take out a few too many times for your liking. Use the upcoming weekend to plan out a few meals for the week and actually make them! Put them in your fridge/freezer and they will be ready when you need them.
It all comes down to planning. Whether it is Plan A or Plan B, the key is to remind yourself of your focus and goals and reroute yourself back to success. Now it is your turn....how do you redirect yourself when you feel thrown off? What can you share to help others refocus and get back into the groove?
Dedicated to your success,
Sara
