Got bad habits?
It's New Year's Eve, so it's time to talk about resolutions we make to break bad habits. Well guess what? In skiing there are no bad habits. All habits are solutions. One more time. ALL HABITS ARE SOLUTIONS!
So I don't want any of my students to tell me they've got bad habits anymore. Instead, let's get together and find out what the repetitive behaviors (habits) are, and figure out what they accomplish for you.
THEN let's ask and answer, together, the following questions:
Is this what you want to achieve? If not, let's find different things to do. If so, is this the best way (efficient? effective? versatile?) way to achieve it? If not, can we tune it, refine it, or replace it? Can we find a better way to achieve the same thing? Can we find another "thing" that will work better?The negativity around the "bad habits" is a waste of time. Let's just clarify Purpose and find the best way to achieve it.
Happy New Year, friends!
