There will be days when just getting out of bed and out the door are a struggle. If we get overwhelmed by something BIG we can make ourselves freak out. What we need to do then is just keep it very simple. What do I need to do right now? Break it down into small steps. Example: grab gym bag, throw on sneakers and get out the door. The workout is going to be so hard and long today? Just get there and warmup and do 1 set. That’s it. Your mind is playing with you so you gotta play back. Ok, we will just do 1 set. Haha. It’s a game between you and you. Once you get your body moving and do 1 set, it’s GO time. Your body will do another. And another. Next thing you know, you’ve finished that hard, long workout by getting out the door, warming up and telling your mind (that seeks comfort and ease) that you’ll just do 1 set. Simple and often overlooked but this kind of mental game is crucial, not only in the gym and fitness but in life. You can’t always just WIL yourself to victory. Sometimes you have to play a little mind game with yourself to overcome your mental plateaus. #strengthessentials716 #strongerthanyesterday #strengthforlife #sleddragging #ropepulls #strongereveryday #beyondmotivated #mindsetiseverything ##getafterit https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTx3O5nQd-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sr042u9de978
