We are on our way out of a tough, dark, wet and cold January and I know most of you are glad you have stuck with the gym no matter what all winter long.
I love winter and all year trainers, you are kindred spirits. You love grinding out, and call on your inner strength to drag you through, even when you don’t feel like coming.
You have stuck with but you don’t need me to pat you on the back, because your rewards are visible to everyone, most of all yourself.
You may be having anxiety about life but you know you can’t out think it away just by sitting on the settee. A busy mind can crush you, that is why you need to get your own back.
You need to fight and out-crush the iron at the gym. If you do battle with your body, then your mind is a very willing recipient of a change in thinking.
You show me a hard trainer and I see someone who uses their mind to get their mind right, to think more positively and to get themselves on an even keel again.
You show me a hard trainer and I see a deep thinker who has stuck at it, and over time has become an impressive performer by working at his/her training over a very long time.
Progress and wellbeing takes time and many times in the gym every week, every month, every year.
It takes time to achieve things worth getting, nothing was built overnight. Don’t fall back, don’t go back to square one, keep getting into the game and feel alive.
