Choose Strength

 The above is an action phrase I use to keep my head in the right place. I owe it to Tony Blauer,
 whose company Blauer Tactical Systems uses the phrase "Choose Safety" as a quick, easy to
 remember reminder to the trainee to always do the thing that keeps them safe. This is my take
 on it.

 When in doubt - always do the thing that makes you stronger. Choose Strength.

 Simple to remember, and strong enough in their call to action - these two words have helped
 me in my training, in my thinking, and in my life.

 When I've been tired in a training session, and I want to skip an exercise I know I get benefit
 from that phrase comes to mind - Choose Strength. What it means to me is strong enough to
 change my thoughts and attitude.
  
 The phrase is a reminder that the power and responsibility are mine, and that my outcome in
 training is based on the decisions I make.

 I can choose to go to bed by a certain time every night, so I'm rested enough to perform well
 and recover well.

 I can choose to eat foods that will support my training and my health.

 I can choose to do the work that is necessary to elicit the result I desire.

 If I simply decide to Choose Strength, in less than a second I can cut through the nonsense of 
 how I feel about doing something and start moving in a positive direction.

 The doubt, discouragement, fear, distraction, etc are gone.

 It becomes a simple equation of action equals result.

 The cool thing is, choosing strength starts to flow over into the other areas of your life. 

 When in doubt - Choose Strength, and move forward.

 If you need help, hit me up.

 If you need training - I have several options. We can find one that fits.

 I'm here to help.
