#pushing yourself

[xxmelodymonarchxx]

No matter what you have to avoid saying that you hate yourself. Don't even think it or admit it to yourself or anybody and eventually you won't think about it anymore. You just really have to put in the effort to not think about it, really... that's what I'm trying to do

I love that feeling when you push your self to do something and it turns out really good.

Today I celebrate a consecutive month of studying German on Duolingo 🎉

Although the app by itself is certainly not enough to learn a language, I must admit that the constant remainders and not so veiled threats of this fucking owl have pushed to complete at least one lesson every day.

The path hasn't been smooth: at first I was very excited and the lessons were very easy. Then, they started to get progressively tougher, and after a while the exercises felt a little repetitive. There were days in which I'd complete one single lesson by 23:59; days in which I wouldn't even do that, and days in which I'd spend even half an hour on the app.

All in all, I owe much to this app and it's one of the few language learning apps that gives you actual help without pushing you to buy the premium package.

So thank you Duolingo, and see you tomorrow🦉

Hi! So I am trying to get fit and I may have overdid it on the crunches because my abs hurt like when I breathe or if I clinch my muscles. Should I 'play through the pain' tonight when I go to workout or should I take a day between ab workouts?

Your muscles hurt because of a build up of lactic acid and it means your muscles will get stronger/bigger. It’s up to you if you do the same workout, but it’s a better idea to rest and stretch muscles that are sore and do light exercises to cycle out the acid faster and recover faster from pushing yourself.

This has nothing to do with being the best

It’s about being consistent and pushing yourself every single day.

Growing Arches

Two weeks I did a small thing

One week I started something bigger,

Just messaging family for another,

Today it felt way too big,

Way too much for me to do,

Yet nothing I was responsible to finish,

And I was right.

The small silly little thing,

An improvement from where I was,

Grew with each step added,

Until I wish I bowed out earlier.

It grew and I pushed too far.

Now I get to rest and recuperate.

Someone else can keep chasing the star.

Exercise: Did It! A 10k Day 3 Ran 6.45 miles. Felt great and stayed in my zones. Didn’t feel like running but thankfully I pushed myself. Amazing things happen when you push yourself. Listen to me! Lol, hopefully, I’ll remember to push myself in other areas. Have a wonderful weekend!

Feeling uncomfortable means you're pushing yourself, you're stepping away from your comfort zone, you're growing. Feeling uncomfortable means you're making progress
