I have set myself some physical challenges to conquer this year.
Having had a number of injuries over the past few years I haven’t trained as much as I would have liked.
They have taken their toll, not just physically but mentally.
in the good old days I used to just push through and work around them. Ego always nails you 🙂
But it catches up with you, the trick is to train smart, not hard. When you are younger it doesn’t impact you as much, but it will get you in the end unless you change how you work.
Anyway
Lately I have realised that I had lost me.
Half arsed training sessions, using injury as an excuse.
It hasn’t been fun
From being a guy who lived and breathed training, to forcing it and not enjoying it it ain’t great
But heres the thing
It comes down to choice
to choose who you are
to step up and realise that you have been lost
Last week I decided to choose to be me again
No more excuses
No voice in my head dictating the way it was.
I mean where is the fun in that?
Choose to Decide
So I chose, I decided to create who I wanted to be
So I set myself some challenges
Physical and mental
Yeah The handstand progression is going great, the ab wheel roll outs, the hanging, the push ups etc.
and these are great endeavours. But I am also working on my internal game, the mental game
the most important game of all
and I am winning
The dialog that comes up every day in my head
the fears that I have placed in there
Yes Placed!
No one else did!
The can be debilitating…. IF YOU CHOOSE TO LET THEM!
I have been there, But I have chosen a different path
One that serves me
One that allows me to lead the life I want
So my question to you is…
What STOPS YOU from fulfilling your true potential
The self talk that talks you out of getting
healthier?
leaner?
Fitter?
Stronger?
More successful?
Happy?
The dialog that paralyses you, the keeps you rooted, that makes you run
but what if you could choose
Every day, choose to live a better way
Choose to become the best version of you
Well you can
No BS
You CAN create yourself
Every day you have the opportunity to STOP.
STOP yourself from believing the stories you have created
check out these stories, every one and ask yourself
“Is that true?”
Remove the judgement stories of good and bad and get back to the simple process of asking “How did this serve me?” and answering it truthfully.
Because the Truth WILL set you free!
BE True
BE Courageous
BE Happy
