Power Hour: How to Focus on Your Goals and Create a Life You Love

Product Information

The more demands we have on us – from work to family – the less time we have for something that is purely for us. I work really hard, and I also have my son to look after. What can easily happen during my day is that I very regularly put myself and my needs last. I’m quite a data-driven person and my approach is about finding practical steps and applying yourself to them: if you want to get to this destination, this is the route. I think many people prefer to just dream and wish for something. For those people my message might be a little bit forceful. Is it really as simple as saying I’ll dedicate one hour a day to this goal? Well, I have genuinely seen in my own life, and in the lives of others, how impactful it really is. Adrienne has just signed up for a 50K ultramarathon race – a great big leap in distance for her. She philosophises about the decision: “I have said before on my podcast that I’ll never do an ultra, because I always wonder why people aren’t happy with the distance they’ve done and feel the need to push for more.” A 5K leads to a 10K and then to a half marathon. “You don’t have to do these crazy things,” she laughs. “You can just run for half an hour, it’s fine!” The Fiit.tv platform is designed to help you reach your health and fitness goals with access to a range of 'professional trainers and fitness programs.

That’s the main reason I stay fit. Health is wealth! It’s so valuable. And it’s so missed when it’s gone. My life experiences have taught me never to take it for granted. So while I can move, I’m going to move. No motivation needed.The only thing I could not follow through is underlining parts, staining it with coffee or dipping it in the bathwater 😊 Es geht um Gewohnheiten, um Motivation, Schlaf, Bewegung, persönliche Ziele, die Menschen im eigenen Leben und Zeitmanagement. Das alles ist gleichzeitig unterhaltsam, mit vielen Beispielen und leicht zu lesen, aber durchaus präzise und auf den Punkt geschildert, sodass es leicht nachvollziehbar wird und jeder das für sich Passende daraus mitnehmen kann.

The first hour of every day in 2021, so far, has been dedicated to inward focus where I have spent time in finding inner-peace and controlled thoughts before facing the chaos of living through a pandemic. I am still a work in progress but feel far better equipped to take on 2021, with this book by my side. I’ve become very intentional with how I use the first hour of my day. As human beings, we like habit, we like repetition. Because I’ve got up to run early in the morning so many times now, I know exactly how I’m going to feel as a result. Often there are other things that come up throughout the day – work might run over, for example – but nothing will ever interrupt that first hour. Das Buch ist sehr positiv geschrieben, mit vielen Anregungen, die machbar/umsetzbar sind. Ich fühle mich mehr inspiriert und auch erleichtert, zu wissen, welche Möglichkeiten es noch gibt, welche Dinge man ausprobieren kann. Es ist ein motivierendes Buch!Zeit uns eine Stunde nur für uns zu reservieren. Am besten bevor wir den üblichen Routinen des Alltags gehören! Eine Power Hour, direkt zu Beginns des Tages, die nur mir selbst gehört und die ich nur für mich nutzen kann! Egal wie! Für mich, meine Ziele, mein Wohlbefinden, meine Veränderung… Auch Krafttraining kann man in die Power Hour einbauen, besonders für Frauen kann dies ermutigend sein - wir lernen am eigenen Leib, dass wir stark sind. She did the very same 5K route again and again and again. And it really worked for her. On the days when she was feeling good, she’d try and run it quite fast and then, when she wasn’t feeling great, it spurred her on to know exactly where halfway was. The repetition allowed her to manage her expectations as a novice runner; she knew when there was an incline and when she was five minutes from home. “Now I’ve got much more experience, I like a bit of mystery in my routes and distances, but at that time I really liked the repetition; it enabled me to benchmark my energy, and I knew I could do it because I’d done it before.”
