Getting faster is more than simply running as fast as you can (focusing on tempo). Instead, it is first knowing all the components of what it takes to get faster. Then over time, along with a sequential and methodical plan, mastering each of these skills will result in improved speed (rhythm).
Isn't life like that as well? We all too often get easily caught up in the daily grind and just being able to keep up with everything becomes the focus. Then, if we are lucky, we might have time to ourselves once every few weeks.
Like me, if you want to truly improve your life and focus on personal and professional growth, start to focus on your 'daily life rhythm'. Below are a few questions to ask yourself to get rhythm focused:
- Are you naturally a morning person, afternoon person, or evening person?
- When do your energy levels peak and drop throughout the day?
- When are you most productive and when are you least productive?
- What if you were to slow down during your day to spend some 'you' time? Even if it was only 10 min. each day to write in a personal journal?
- What are some key areas in your life where you feel like you need to improve upon?
- What would your life look like if you took the time to improve them?
- What is the cost of not improving them?
