The Power of a Uniform

Many martial art disciplines have a uniform.  It bonds those that wear it together.  It creates a unit or team that can conquer and achieve anything.  It is special and gives you the mental attitude to get the job done.    

 

I bring this up because we all have uniforms.  We have clothes for work, going out, training and even lounging around.  Due to the current situation many of us are working from home and the vast majority are not doing it in our work clothes.  

Much like the Home Zones I described before, there is a certain attitude or mindset that comes with your clothing.  When you wear your work clothes you take on a work mindset.  When you wear your training clothes you place yourself in a training mindset.  So what happens if you wear your training clothes to work all day?  Well those clothes that tell you to get busy and crush your goals no longer have the same meaning or feeling.  This is why it is extremely important that we work hard to “keep our norm.”  

You know how to do this already.  Simply wake up and get dressed as if you are going to work.  Start your day at the same time you normally would.  Then at the end of your day, transition to your training clothes just before it is time to workout.  Feel the difference as you let go of all fatigue from your daily grind.  Feel the hunger in your belly that says it’s time to get after it.  This is you changing modes and adjusting your mindset.  This is you about to crush your goals.  This is the power of a uniform.
