Move With Purpose

The past couple weeks I was working in Arizona (I know, rough weather).  It was a great, fun group of people that I worked with, but there was plenty of work to be done and I meant business.  At one point one of the other workers told me that I "always move with purpose."  Heck yeah I do!  I'm very focused, and I'm on a mission whenever I set out to accomplish anything.  When I set my sights on what needs done, I walk quickly and efficiently, and I keep great posture.

When you move like this, your entire body and all of your systems function better.  When you walk with your head up, back straight, and swing your arms you emanate positive body language and you subconsciously set yourself up for success.  On the other hand, if you trudge along with your head down and shoulders slouched, your performance will probably be as low as your mindset.  Posture and body language are also important when sitting, too.  Research shows that testosterone, crucial for muscle growth, levels are higher if you sit up straight in your chair.

Putting all this into practice, don't wander around aimlessly; rather, decide on your goals, put some blinders on, and zero in on them.  It could be the way you strut out to your next wrestling match, or the way you powerwalk to that meeting at the office.  Put a little swagger in it and you'll be surprised at the increase in energy.  Speaking of swagger, one of the kings of it, Jordan Burroughs, just got handed his first loss since 2009.  It was to fellow American Nick Marable, who won the TourACW event back in October at 170 lbs.  I knew Nick was for real when he wrestled a gutsy 46 minutes in his three matches at TourACW.  JB did a fine job of coming back with a vengeance for third, but it just shows that everyone is human.

Move purposefully,
