‘Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective.’
– Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is The Way
Where is your head in your workouts? Before you show up are thinking about how hard it’s going to be? Before you attempt a movement are you saying that you can’t? Before you pick up a weight is the first thought, ‘This is heavy?’
Wherever your head goes, the mind will follow.
Does it become debilitating? Do you look at the workout and decide not to go because it’ll be too hard? Many times the perception of pain or difficulty is way greater then the actual pain or difficulty that it will ensue.
Take a moment, change your head, change your perspective if you need to. Show up and kill it.
See you at the gym!
