Non magic days and dates are all the times when we use a specific day or date or holiday or time of year to sabotage our efforts. The most common are “weekends” when people say things such as “I work all week, I’m not going to do anything on my days off…it’s just more work”. Birthdays, public holidays are all dangerous but we’re heading into the most dangerous of the all…the Christmas break. We call them non magic days because of the irrational belief that many people have that these days are ‘special or magic’ in that the normal facts and rules don’t apply. Well they do. Christmas day is a 24 block of time in which going for a jog or a swim will have the exact same effect as if it were any other day of the year. With that in mind, the Condor Performance team hopes that you have much more than just a happy Dec 25th. Cheers, GJM
