Many of us start packed with a lot of enthusiasm but end distracted on the way. We don’t feel as passionate towards achieving our set targets. We have to push and drag ourselves to work further, and no longer enjoy it the way we used to.
Have you ever experienced a similar situation? Any suggestions to overcome this?
Of course! If you're like me, you've been swimming for a long time and a lot of the meets seem to blend together.
1. Sign up for a meet, whether you're in shape or not. Assuming you're at least somewhat competitive, you'll make yourself practice so you put yourself in a position to perform well.
2. Sign up for an event you haven't done. I didn't participate in Open Water until last year and I had a blast!
3. Sign up for events you haven't done. If you haven't done the 100 *** in ten years, try it out. Maybe you'll surprise yourself and get a best time!
That's all I have for now :)Greg said my top 3 ideas, but I'd also add some variants on #3:
Try to do the "check-off" challenge one year where you make sure you race every event at least once in a season.
Play around with different events in different seasons: I'm a mid-distance to distance swimmer, but pretended to be a sprinter for one season. It was both fun and rejuvenating.
