Competition Could be Your Best Life Move

Many of us think of competition as a formal event you need to prep for – like the Winter Olympics. While training is definitely needed for a competition of any kind, there are ways to incorporate this kind of mentality into your everyday life.

Why Should I?

Competition fosters a goal-oriented sense of being, meaning that an individual sets goals and attempts to achieve them. These can be work goals, nutrition goals, fitness goals and family goals. By viewing certain aspects of your life as a bit of a competition, you can unintentionally motivate yourself to do better in each of those areas.

The Business Model

Your work environment is most likely underlined with a competitive spirit as it is. Are you involved in that event? Are you committed to your work in such a way as to make others want to up their game as well? This kind of thinking will inspire you to be better at what you do, making you feel good about the accomplishments you reach and proving to others that you’re the man for the job.

Home Life

Your family needs attention too, and sometimes it seems like such a chore to get down on the floor with those kids. However, if you look at your family life as a contest, you might have more fun with it. Give yourself a point system for each activity you wholeheartedly participate in as a family. Dinner counts! As long as you are fully committed and not distracted by cell phones and television, any event done together nets you points. Set goals for each week, and pretty soon, you’ll forget all about those points and actually start enjoying the activities you’ve come up with in your quest to reach a goal.

The Table

Food is so easily incorporated into all kinds of contests – hot dog eating, beer chugging, and cake decorating. But what about the nutritional aspect? There are many programs out there dedicated to a points system for each type of food you consume. Think of your quest in a different way, though. Take the list of vital nutrients and vitamins that your body needs on a daily basis and formulate a meal plan that incorporates them. See how many you can deliciously include each week without turning to supplements for your intake needs. You’ll be surprised by the creative fun you can have in this venture.
