The climbing a mountain analogy for your gym journey is very appropriate.
You will have plenty of enjoyable moments where you do well, and are able to take in the great view you have ascended to.
Then at times due to life pressures, you may unbalanced, stuck on a ledge at times with no easy way up from there. BUT you have not option to go further unless you DIG IN and be resourceful.
Digging deep only happens when we remember exactly why we first started, and how our life was back then, and how our life is now with much better health and strength. How life was back then when we struggled with mental health, and how life is now when we use our workouts to crush anxiety, stress and doubt.
If you are stuck on that ledge right now, you need to unload the unhelpful baggage like the junk food, you don’t need to be drinking more than once a week, you do need to get to bed earlier in the week to recover from your workouts, and wake up early the next day and get meaningful stuff DONE, and you DO need to show up and keep feeling better and proud of yourself and your great efforts with us.
THIS is what gets you off that ledge of uncertainty, doubt and worry-it’s the doing and taking action that will eventually make you overcome the sticking points, the times you think you aren’t improving and gives you ultimately the strength to carry on and excel.
