Running helped me to be disciplined and consistent

I was very surprised when I saw my daughter loving and developing the habit of running motivated by my medals and runs. Initially she use to ask me for the company, enjoying every moment in nature and having fun. I thought she will do it for some time, some days and later would change her mind or automatically will shift to other some game or sports. But I was wrong; she started developing more and more interest, learning the process of running. I was happy seeing all this , as she was going to spend her time playing ,practicing outside the walls instead of sitting infront of idiot box or on mobile. When I was enough confident about her passion, I started planting basics of running by sharing my own experiences as athlete and mother.

The first thing I put in her mind was about the discipline and consistency, as running is all about timing, were as a sprinter you miss the finish line by micro seconds. If you want to enjoy the process of running you need to set clear and achievable goals for which you need to build and bring discipline in yourself with strong mindset. Once you incorporate discipline in your running you yourself will be out of bed in the early hours of a morning no matter what the season is. This discipline helps us at the time when we come across injuries, obstacles or setbacks, and instead of giving up, we start looking towards them as opportunities.

The final words that I embedded in her mind were “Your consistency, discipline you maintain with proper planning and technique will help you to focus to set new goals, celebrate your achievement, not only in running but throughout your life. It would be the receipt of your hard work, determination and dedication you put into your journey with positive mindset”.

Be Disciplined and Consistent and focus on your goals.
