[MM]: My Level 10 Problem + Your Solution
Happy Monday Mindset!
“OMG, babe, something is wrong, I cannot walk!”
That is what I shrieked in late August to my wife Tatiana as I hopped off the treadmill just finishing my 2-mile run in agonizing pain!
You see, I love to run as it unlocks mental clarity and creativity which is my therapy. I run a couple of miles a day.
However, while I am a fit guy, flexibility and mobility are the weakest part of the fitness game.
The problem?
It became apparent when my legs locked up in the pain due to the tightness. I was now facing a Level 10 problem due to my lack of focus on it.
I realized in that moment, that unless I begin to take action toward increasing my flexibility, there’s a tough road that awaits me.
So the next day I swallowed my pride and researched stretching coaches in my area which led to David.
I walked in on September 10, terrified but knew I needed help.
After the initial stretch, while difficult, I could see the value.
I then asked for a long-term discounted membership.
Why long-term?
Well, I know that 1-2 months of stretching is a good start. However, it’s not going to reverse the 41 years of lack of attention.
So that next week, I got to work with David.
Initially, we met 1x per week and after a few months have now increased it to 2x per week with 1 yoga session on Sundays.
It hasn’t been fun or easy.
In fact, hard, really hard.
However, fast forward nearly 6 months and I just hit my 40th guided stretch.
Am I a rubber band man yet?
No.
However, I’m out of pain and can see significant progress!
Game changer!
My message?
In the words of my friend Craig Ballantyne:
Identify what your Level 10 problem is and then begin to take Level 10 action against it!
This is how you build a better life.
No, it won’t be easy, but if you stick with it, it will be worth it.
Make it a GREAT week!
