Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot about fitness motivation especially in the critical
moments when you’re digging deep to make it through. Here are my thoughts on
it. How do you stay motivated and energized through the grind? Let me know your
thoughts in the comments section.
Its the end
of your run and your legs are burning, you’re out of breath, and you’re starting to wonder if
you’ll ever make it through. You’re in
deep, and the only way to the finish line, up that hill, or through that last
rep is through pure will. This is the moment that counts. When you feel like
you just can’t take another step, somehow you manage to move forward, shaky,
but still going. This is where the transformation happens. This is where the real
change occurs. That bit of grit that comes from your inner driving force, some
thought telling you, yes you can, that instant is when your inner athlete is
born.
We’re all
athletes regardless of physique—it’s all in the mindset. If you bring one thing
with you to your training, bring some attitude. Anything is possible if you allow it. Accept that
success is possible for you and focus on your goal in the present moment. Use
your determination and swagger to knock down your mental blocks and doubt and keep
going. Coaches and friends are crucial in encouraging and
pushing us through those tough moments, but ultimately, your success is up to
you. When we’re in deep, we ‘just do it’ because we know that
doing anything less would be unfair to ourselves. We know doing less than our best cheats the
progress we have already made.
To push your limits and fire up your inner athlete, think positively, visualize your intended outcome, focus on the task at hand, remember why you started, think about your family and loved ones depending on and looking up to you, think about how far you’ve come, breathe deep, and just keep going.
