When does it get easier??

I hear It all the time, 'this is hard when does it get easier?'. For some reason most humans grow up looking for the easy options in just about everything they do, but what if we could condition ourselves to enjoy the struggles in life, to embrace them so when they do pop up (and they will, nobody is safe!) we are almost excited?

 

Cultivating this mindset is key to succes at anything and fitness is no different. A good place to start is by getting rid of poor self-talk such as 'I can't do push ups on my toes' and replacing it with 'I presently struggle with push ups on my toes'. When you say Can't it's pretty final, that's it things arent going to change, but when you say 'presently struggle with' it leaves room for improvement and therefore a hope, a faith a good chance that things are going to get better.

So next time your doing a workout and you feel like you can't do an exercise, a drill or a move just say to yourself. This is hard but it's good, I am struggling but I will get there, and over time (and all the good things take time). You'll get better and look back and laugh at the time you thought you may never get there.. try it out.

Go After It!
