God Bless Our Service Men and Women
Came across this challenge whilst scouring forums for new fitness goals and
information. Earlier this week I was discussing with one of my clients the importance of 'mental checks' and the ability to break mental
barriers. For instance, the challenge issued above seems simple, possibly
pointless, but it's a goal. It's tangible. I can grab it if I try hard enough.
While having too many of these goals drives people towards obsession, then
resentment and despair, sprinkling them throughout the training cycle drives
athletes towards accomplishment, instilling confidence while breaking the phrase
"I can't" or "That's impossible". For example I've committed to attending Spin classes once a week with the lady friend,
which can be viewed as a burden, a chore, a wall in the way of my lifting goals and progress. Or it
can be viewed as an excursion, a vacation from the norm, an opportunity to
achieve.
If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then what is? What have
you viewed as impossible, insurmountable? Why? What's stopping you?
