    My Top 5 Tips for Increased Stamina and Success

    My-Top-5-Tips-for-Increased-Stamina-and-Success Chad McMillan

    In my opinion, there are 2 things you need to succeed in life; 1 - A clear definition of what success looks like to you, (i.e. where you want to be and what you want to achieve) and 2 - The stamina to get you there (and stay in that zone!).

    Despite what we may feel sometimes, life is not a race. We don't have to achieve everything today. But if we do want to achieve anything, then I'll suggest to you that today is the day we should start that work. (No time like the present!)  

    As we start to go about it, (directing our time, energy, and focus towards our own targets, milestones, and achievements), stuff is going to come up; our stuff, meaning our inner baggage more so than anything else; our own resistance to our own success, our excuses, our mirrors and messengers testing our resolve etc. etc.

    So, the point for me today is to ask, how's your stamina?  How's your energy level?  Are you powered up and primed to start carrying your own torch over the long haul, to take yourself on?

    Top 5 Tips for Increased Stamina and Success


    To get us started this week, here are some tips that help me stay on top of my game:

    1- Have a Clear Intention/Goal/Mission. (what do I want to achieve?)

    2- Operate from place of passion (doing things I enjoy).

    3- Get Consistent Rest - (6.5hrs/night minimum).

    3- Fuel up with a Good Diet - (Plant Based).

    4- Keep up Good Vibes (Music, Activities, and People). 

    These are a few of the core pillars that keep me on path long term, through any and all possible hurdles, setbacks, and storms.  And in this spirit, I think you need a good playlist.

    Momentum feels productive, but without reflection it is easy to repeat the same patterns faster. I value periods of review because they turn experience into learning and motion into direction.
