It's been SO difficult this past week to keep myself motivated in the gym. I'm not sure if it was the (unusually) cold weather or just the "I don't wanna's" but for whatever reason slipping into my gym clothes and getting my butt out the door seemed impossible. But whatever, it needed to be done.
Even though a few of my workouts were less than on point (very weak and lagging around) I'm proud that I at least showed up and put whatever energy I had in me, into my workout. I had to constantly remind myself of the 4 little agreements that everyone should make with themselves:
1) Be impeccable with your word
2) Don't take anything personally
3) Don't make assumptions
And last but not least
4) ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
"Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret."
This past week I can truly say that I did my best. Sure, it wasn't a killer workout, my legs/arms didn't feel like jello when leaving and I certainly wanted to be anywhereee other than in that damn gym BUT that doesn't mean I let myself down.
I've spent too many years beating myself up over my own perceived failures and I don't plan on going back to that life of self pity. NO ONE HAS TIME FOR THAT SHIT. And if you do, you've got time to get in the gym! So whatever your best is today, give it ALL.
Stop letting your mind convince you that your body isn't capable! Our minds are our biggest obstacle. When you gain control of your thoughts, you gain control of your actions and your life. What is more empowering than that?!
