Dr. Claire Reclosado Baclay: Set Yourself Up For Success with the 5 W's

Mental Toughness and the Key to Perform Better for Life

When things don't go your way, what's keeping you going? We are all going to have days where we don't feel inspired to go to work, work out, or get anything done which is why it is so important to train yourself to be mentally tough. This means that you must find ways to motivate yourself intrinsically so that on these difficult days, you have a reason for working, training, or doing whatever you have to do. Bryant goes into detail about harmonious passion vs obsessive passion and which one we should be focusing on when on comes to reaching goals or getting through hard times. Another component to becoming mentally tough is realizing that your mind is the most powerful performance tool so shifting your mindset to the positives will set you up for success. Also remember to find frequent inspiration and surround yourself with a challenging and supportive environment so that when hard times come up, you are constantly motivated to keep moving forward.

Especially now because of the pandemic, a lot of us are feeling cooped up inside all day and sedentary. So when we jump right back into exercising again without maintaining our mobility, our bodies might not be ready for the movements we used to do so easily. Even if you only have a few minutes in the morning, at lunch, or before bed, Brandon recommends incorporating a daily mobility routine so that you can feel better, move pain-free, and prevent injury!

First there's the why. Why do you do what you do, what is your purpose and how does it come into play into your life. Then there's worth which is all about knowing what you deserve and that you have value. Third is will-power which is which is identifying your own limits and capacities. After that, is well-wishers. This reminds us to surround ourselves with authentic people who support us and give us honest feedback.

Check out our youtube video to  hear if there is a specific order to the 5 Ws, which one is most important, how to narrow your goals down and more!
