Mind over matter is one of the hardest things to try and overcome, so many times we talk ourselves out of doing something we know we can or should be doing.
On the treadmill today, I found myself trying to talk myself out of doing the workout I had planned. I was jogging coming up with all sorts of reasons why I should quit early....I was tired, I was out late drinking last night, I should be doing something else....man was I convincing! It took everything I had to get myself to shut up and just suck it up. And the thoughts that made me do it were the reasons why I was doing this in the first place. I kept trying to convince myself otherwise and telling myself I wasn't ready for this long(well long for me) jog then I realized, if it were easy....everyone would do it. That right there is what got me through it.
If it were easy, I wouldn't have quit over and over and over again. If it were easy, the weight loss market wouldn't be a multi-billion dollar market.
And to be quite honest, I'm damn fed up with easy, I'm ready and can't wait for people to look at me and go...."damn!" yep, that's my motivation.
Keep yours in mind next time you think you want to cut that workout short, or cut it out altogether.
