#checkthebox mentality…
There are some out there that are of the opinion that if you take an approach consisting of just “checking the box” that you are just going through the motions. While there is some validity in this way of thinking, I think it is important to consider that for some this type of mindset can create some big wins and lasting changes when it comes to building better habits.
What is the #checkthebox mentality?
From a coaching perspective it really comes down to two things… discipline and achievement. In my experience the most common factor contributing to lack of achievement is lack of motivation… the hard truth is that motivation is fleeting; it is not a constant therefore leading to continuous ebs and flows in progress. Being constantly motivated to accomplish something is far less common than that of becoming disciplined to do so. Hence, the #checkthebox approach. Let’s break it down…
The #checkthebox mentality has been built on three guiding principles. 1) Show Up. 2) Work Hard. 3) Stay In Your Lane.
Show Up- Consistency is the number one, most important factor to achievement. If you are not consistent you are likely not progressing.
Work Hard- This is relative, and really tied to effort. Using the acronym PRIDE (Personal Responsibility In Daily Effort) sets the expectation of who is responsible for the wins or losses.
Stay In Your Lane- While this originally came about as a joke, due to the structure of classes and layout of the gym, it has morphed into something unrelated to the physical format. When we say “Stay in your lane” we simply want for you to focus on what’s best for you and to stop comparing yourself to others.
