Workout and Fitness Tips: The 1 thing that keeps you from peaking in your workouts.
I grapple with this very thing with every workout.  My mind wants to quit even though  my body can continue. Someone once told me I should seek help from a sports psychologist to learn to push through. I don’t know about that but, when my mind makes itself up, I stop and I often wonder how do we learn to push through?.  There are so many times during each day’s workout where I am like ” No way, I can’t do anymore” and I stop. I do resume but ideally I would like to push through the entire round without stopping. There are times when I do, and internally, I get excited by that. But many more times, I do stop and I am so thankful that I have MT and some of the other campers around me that notice and bring me out of that state of mind. I hear alot of don’t stop Stephy, or you can do it…

MT told me last week,  that as far as I have come, he knows I am not at my full potential yet. That excites and scares me at the same time. I have come this far and feel so empowered, can you even imagine that’s not my full potential?   So many new facets of me are being created and/or recognized – I had no idea that was in me. How cool is that?

So read the link above and think about ways in which you are limited by your mind even though you know you can push more…
