Congrats AthHalf Runners!!!! We are so proud of everyone who came out to runner and cheer! Sunday morning was such a blast, and we are glad we were able to run, jog, or walk the race with the TransFit family. If you see one of these strong women this week tell them "Congrats!" or "Way to Go!"
A special shoutout to Deana Cozart, Deborah Ragland, Mary Claire Willis and Sue Baldwin for each getting their Personal Record Times!!!!! Everyone did a great job and finished strong!
With the Ath Half behind us we chose to focus our attention this week towards something that came in handy for the runners most likely around mile 10, 11, or 12 -- MENTAL TOUGHNESS! Mental strength is a very important pillar in keeping our MINDS, bodies, and spirits healthy. Save these or print these out!
10 Ways To Get Mentally Tough
1. When you wake up in the morning, take a morning walk of gratitude and prayer. It will create a fertile mind ready for success.
2. When you face a setback, think of it as a defining moment that will lead to a future accomplishment.
3. When you encounter adversity, remember, the best don't just face adversity; they embrace it, knowing it's not a dead end but a detour to something greater and better.
4. When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of negativity, not in the absence of it. After all, everyone will have to overcome negativity to define themselves and create their success.
5. When you want to complain, instead identify a solution.
6. When you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future, instead focus your energy on the present moment. The now is where your power is the greatest.
7. When your own self-doubt crowds your mind, weed it and replace it with positive thoughts and positive self-talk.
8. When you feel distracted, focus on your breathing, observe your surroundings, clear you mind, and get into The Zone. The Zone is not a random event. It can be created.
9. When you are tired and drained, remember to never, never, never give up. Finish strong in everything you do.
10. When you're in a high-pressure situation and the game is on the line and everyone is watching you, remember to smile, have fun, and enjoy it. Life is short; you only live once. You have nothing to lose. Seize the moment.
