Top Secret Mind Control Trick...

Coach Patrick

And it's not even mine...but every once in a while I remember to say something to someone about it, say when I am on my bike, but when I get back, I forget. 

So, I read this really powerful article a few years ago (yes, holding out on you!) that talked about how a guy changed his life by using his smartphone passcode. That's right, his code.

Basically, whatever his top priority was at the time, he made a code for it...he used the letters for the "key word" that he was focused on to be forgiving, to lose weight, and much more. 

So being a tridork, a few years ago, I changed my pass code to 0930. For my 9:30 Ironman. It reminded me every day of what I was working towards...not just every day, many times every day. I had to explain the new code to my wife, to my kids...it was a promise to myself...

And at IMTX that year...I went 9:27.  At Tremblant I went 9:30-something...and this year at TX....9:29.   

Time for a new passcode...especially now you are all involved.

But, a challenge for you...think of your current top goal, and change that passcode...keep us posted on your results!

I like this. Really good idea. Is it to late for IMChoo. Me thinks so, but I will implement this for next year. HIM's are going to be my focus.

Been doing this for years, and it does work! Not only my phone pw, but work pw too. Right now, it is... 112929. All the stars will have to align, but hey, gotta have goals, and this is one that I repeat many, many times every day.
