blackguycrossfitter: Excuses “Excuses are tools of incompetence, Used to build monuments of nothingness, Those who use them seldom accomplish anything else” This is my pain face. The point where everything hurts and I just want it to be over. Where I start to capitulate to my own fears or lack of confidence in whatever I may be doing. The “I can’t possibly do anymore” feeling. Your mind is a damn liar. One more rep won’t kill you. A little farther won’t hurt. A little faster won’t suck out your soul. Moving past your zone of comfort is as simple as letting yourself go to that dark place where surrender is no longer an option. My most recent goal is trying to find the easiest route to that place. Then again, getting there is never easy. Our mind gives us excuses as to why we can’t, or shouldn’t go there. “It hurts too much”, “I can’t breathe, I need to take a break”, “If I slow down it’ll be easier”. The tools you use to build your own barriers and limitations. The moral of the story is that these limitations are self-imposed. The only thing stopping you is you. This is a lesson that I’m still learning, not only in crossfit, but in life. Sometimes we need to learn to stop limiting ourselves and break down our self-imposed barriers to fully reap the benefits of our hard work. -- source link
