“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle
Good habits are the foundation of success. Once a habit is formed, it becomes a regular part of your life and allows you to level up.
If you want to gain the benefits of recovery, planning is the only way to see real results. If you take time to create a plan for your recovery and commit to it, you’ll be able to reach those big goals you’re striving for.
How to make consistency easy.
Trying to incorporate and stick to new habits can be incredibly difficult, especially when you already have so much on your plate.
An easy way to create a simple recovery plan is to add recovery to activities that you already do. For instance, if you have practice, plan to do a short on-demand Yoga Recovery class right afterwards. This will allow you to integrate recovery into your current training schedule in a way that isn’t random and doesn’t feel overwhelming.
