Your Why
Pre-workout
I want you to think for a moment about why you are here. It can change every workout or perhaps it remains the same steady thought each time. Likely it is multiple reasons: sanity, therapy, to set a good example for your children, yourself, to gain buns of steel. Whatever your “why”, it exists for no one else and it needs no justification or explanation. Picture your "why" in your mind’s eye now and allow it to be your guiding force through this work out.
Post-workout
Think about what you’ve just accomplished and how your “why” did or did not help carry you through. If it did, use that going forth this week, to get you where you need to be. You can likely relate it back to making better choices when you are presented with challenges. Recognize what you did here and use it moving forward!
If your “why” didn’t help you today, that’s OK too. Sometimes we learn more from what doesn’t serve us, than what does. We need to know what is not working in order to make lasting change. Take this opportunity, this moment to regroup and regain focus for next time and for the rest of our second week together.
