Jon and I came across Evo planners and are using them as part of our individual morning rituals and our common goal: to make gains. One of the thing I've started doing is looking up quotes about certain things each morning to help fix my mindset. You see, mindset doesn't come easy for me. I don't typically look for the bad in things and others, but I often naturally focus on the bad within myself. As such, it's a constant work in progress. While looking up strength this morning, I found this Gandhi quote "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." I wrote it down, thought for a minute, shared it with the family running group, and then didn't think much more about it.
Fast forward to now after a long day and a 60 minute amazing sweaty cardio dance workout to my evening planner ritual. As I go back over my day, I re-read the quotes from this morning and only then does it hit me: this is what I do everyday. Everyday, I'm tired or fatigued or just "done" at some point. We all get that way whether physically, emotionally, or both. Today I wanted to go home and not go to dance. That's not how we do. We dig deep. We find that strength, that indomitable will, and we make it happen.
This is what your whole fitness journey is about. How much easier it would be to lay down, eat whatever you want.. but that's what got me to my crossroads in the first place. Instead, I choose to dig deep, find that indomitable will, show my strength, and make it happen. I wish that for you as well!
