GET OUT YOUR OWN WAY I’ve seen myself get stuck in the cycle of getting to a new height, and I’m satisfied for a little bit, then I start pushing my limits too far. In a way, it’s good I’m pushing myself for more, but without balance it’s bad for my own mental health. I can’t let my thoughts get in the way of my progress. I was in a place where I needed to stop focusing so hard on the finish line. I was going out and running, saying to myself I need to do 6-7 miles and constantly being too focused on the pace, and how much further I had....rather than just getting out and enjoying the run. This mindset applied to multiple areas of my life. "I want to be faster & stronger” “I want to do this” “I should be at this point by now" I was too focused on always wanting more. I fell into the trap. I had to find a happy medium of being able to push myself, but also accept myself while I’m growing. If you’re overly focused on being more & better, you’re delaying your process. That mindset is creating resistance. Don’t block your manifestations by not keeping your head in the right space. Stay patient and just do. Know that there’s nothing that can stop you if you keep taking the right steps along the way. One at a time. Left foot, right foot. I found the improvement in self talk to play a big role in my life. Altering your mindset will alter your reality. I’ve been taking more time to focus on the activity, and the mindset that brings me closer to where I want to be. It all starts with encouraging rather than discouraging. Constantly talking and pushing myself for more is no different than me talking down on myself for not having it now. A key to being happy is taking some of your focus off the finish line, and enjoying the race that’ll get you there. We all know we’ll cross the line, it’s just a matter of when. If your mindsets right, it all comes down to the work you’re putting in.....consistency, discipline, and persistence. Everything’s at the right time, you gotta trust that. Let it flow and keep taking your steps. As you go forward, continue to recognize if your self-talk is trying to be your friend or your enemy. YOU CAN YOU WILL -JC 🐺⚡️♾
