People! If you are walking away from your workout everyday thinking "that was a good workout, I feel pretty good," then you are NOT giving yourself the opportunity to reach that next level, and push yourself past a threshold you have probably been stuck at for years! Yes you're sweaty, yes you're tired, but did you really challenge yourself mentally as well as physically? Did you surprise yourself with what you were actually able to accomplish? If you didn't say yes right away, then you aren't really working!
I can't stop thinking about 2 things- my workout yesterday (because I lifted more than I thought I could!)-- how would I have known I could do it if I didn't try?? I literally walked out of the gym yesterday in shock that I had done what I did.
And two- how many PR's were set in today's 9:15am class by people who got some attitude with the bar! They couldn't believe the PR's they were shredding! That group shocked themselves! They just all stepped into the next level of training-- Belief!
Don't avoid what you think is unreachable because of fear of failure. Shock the hell outta yourself by trying it, then owning it!
So proud this week!
Bruised and healed. Changing lives....

Attitude
You've heard this before (many of you have heard me say it) but your attitude effects your performance. Period. If you say you can't, you won't. Why do we even think about trying something that we've already decided we can't do? You have already failed to reach your peak level if this thought is in your head.
This week in my Strickly Strength class was a powerful one for me. My focus was off, my self esteem was low, and in return, my Tuesday class performance was shot. I struggled with it in all aspects. Hell I even messed up the rep scheme. My coach basically laid down the law with our class, and reminded us that if we don't take our performance seriously, we don't make progress, we don't get better. If we say we can, we will. I have to remember why I'm here and what my goals are.
For the rest of the week, I focused on the task at hand and kept my goals in the front of my mind. My Thursday class was ten times better than Tuesday. I had a 10 lb jump on back squats and felt good about handling that sandbag!
It adds so much value to stay present in the present. Commit yourself to the tasks that you are faced with, without distraction or a negative attitude. Believe in yourself, you are capable of more than you think, so start thinking that way!
