As a basketball fan, I always look forward to April, May and June as it's NBA Playoff time. (As a Knicks fan, ugh, I...actually, I'll save that for another time.)
Some people have been talking about how bad the refs have been so far in the playoffs.
WAIT! Even if you don't like basketball (or sports) we can learn from this.
And before we get into it, if you're looking for a tactical post (e.g. eat these 10 'secret' foods) this one is not for you. A big part of what we focus on at MBT is your mindset / psychology. If you don't have the right mindset and psychology, you'll never be able to stick with anything - no matter how "perfect" the 'diet' is.
We all know people who go from one shiny new fad diet to the next without ever sticking with anything. Sure, many of them aren't sustainable in the first place (you can only stick with a shake, grapefruit or celery diet for so long!). But psychology is such a big part of the equation.
For example: if you have psychological roadblocks or limiting beliefs you'll never be able to lose weight for good.
Anyway, let's get to it...
As I said, some people have been talking about how bad the refs have been so far in the playoffs.
You ever hear of the game spotto? It's a game that involves finding red cars (or whatever you want) and shouting the appropriate term as you see them.
What you discover after just a few minutes is how many red cars there are. A heck of a lot!
We notice what we choose to notice.

When we play spotto with the NBA refs, and that's what so many people are doing, it's very easy to see all the bad calls they're making...
We're ONLY focusing on their bad calls!
NBA referees make bad calls all the time. But because people are talking about it and the stakes are high, it's easy to only notice (and focus) on the bad calls.
WHY NOT...
Consider playing a version of spotto involving ways we can move more (steps instead of elevators, taking a longer route, parking far from the store as opposed to close, etc.).
Consider playing a version of spotto involving all the delicious and healthy foods that will make us feel good before, during and after we eat them rather than on the junk food we're trying to avoid (unless it's truly memorable).
What we'll notice is that there's a lot more of it out there than we would have thought.
We can take it one step further...
Why not...
Consider playing a version of spotto involving the people in our lives and noticing all of their positive and amazing qualities rather than just focusing on the negative.
Consider playing a version of spotto involving all that we do have, and all that's great -- rather than focusing on what we don't have, and all that's wrong. (Gratitude changes our attitude. I know. I know. But it really does.)
Spotto! For today. For the rest of the week. For life! :)
