Greatness is found in NEXT‼️
Notice
EXhale
Transition
This mentality is understanding that life, business, athletics, and everything you do is in constant movement and ever changing. It’s knowing you’re constantly evolving. It’s knowing that success, failure, wins, losses, highs, and lows are temporary and part of every journey.
Notice - This means you have to be in it. You have to be focused so you can notice. You see changes, celebrate wins, examine and see mistakes and losses, constantly evaluating. Be able to notice highs, lows, small and big accomplishments, and good or bad results. If you’re not in it, not focused, don’t have performance standards, don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong then you won’t be able to NOTICE.
EXhale - this gets two letters from NEXT because it’s sooo important. The time spent here is in my opinion what makes or breaks you, your business, your athletic success, or life’s endeavors. This is that short period of time where you react to what you noticed. This is that time where you breathe, grow, move on, progress, celebrate, cry, soak it in, feel pain and anger, take in defeat, rejoice in victory. This is that moment to feel. As humans we need to feel those emotions so we can progress. So feel it, happiness and sadness. Short memory, Then…. EXhale and leave it right there. Good or bad, victory or defeat we need to leave it there and our feelings about it in that moment and refocus. If you stay here to long, good or bad you will either become complacent in your past victories or mentally incapable to recover from mistakes. Move to the next goal, next decision, next plan, next shot, or next play.
Transition - This is the next move, the next goal, the next level, or next play. Transition from emotional response back to process driven planning. Responding and making transition due to failure will grow your mental toughness and confidence. Emotional decisions in business and life usually cause more chaos and frustration. Transition by checking your emotions, refocusing back to your baseline will lead to growth in all areas of your life. This is where we progress after a loss or defeat, full throttle with our heads high cause we left the feelings in the Exhale stage. This is where we address the next obstacle and challenge with them same tenacity that allowed us to win the battle the last time, because we left the emotional high from that last victory in the EXhale stage. This is making the changes, moving on, this is constant growth and constant progress no matter the outcome last time. This is change, the end of the cycle 🔁 to then start again. This takes what you noticed, let you feel it, then transition to what’s next with confidence, setting new goals and getting after it again.
So go be Great… NEXT!
