Lately I have actually tried to have a different attitude. Instead of giving in to being tired and thinking I can't do it, I have decided to say, I will do this, I can do this, push harder, not much longer, you can do it, don't give up, kick ass...I think I can , I think I can. It works. It empowers me.

I think I can, I think I can
Normally when I am exercising I am very obsessed with looking the clock, if it is a class I am always looking at the time. If I am running, I am always checking how much time has elapsed. Many times as the time ticks away and I get tired my mind starts the old game of quitter. My head says, damn I am tired, I can not wait for this to end, this sucks, ughhh please end, I can't do this anymore....how much more time, i just want to stop, when will it end. You get my drift.

I have to stop myself from doing that all the time! I'm usually ok when I'm cross training on ellipticals and such but when I run I'm CONSTANTLY checking time and clocks!
ReplyDeleteI do, like you, have to tell myself 'you can do this' etc.
It's mind over matter!
you CAN do it!
ReplyDeleteI need to adjust my attitude as well. I'm always watching the clock and thinking of all the other things that I need to do.
