The end of bank holiday and start of the new week highlights our mode of “surviving” in life, and then performing and thriving in life.
Over the weekend, we may have not have eaten so well as normal, drunk a little more than normal and been up for later than normal with less quality sleep.
Fast forward to our workout today and everything is much more of a struggle.
We are very much in “survival mode”. If we live our whole week like this, not eating right and not training, then life soon becomes a dreaded survival mode, and it’s highly likely we will moan about life “is not fair” at times, but the truth is that a large part feeling better comes down to our habits.
Doing more of what we know will help us, and still doing a bit of what we enjoy too is always the magical “balance in life” we always talk about.
Tuesday to friday this week is a chance to thrive again.
Today you can get the downside of bank holiday out of you once and for all, it will make sure you have a good night’s sleep and regenerate your energy stores so that you are ready to thrive in your workouts tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
Everyone wants to thrive in life, that way you are really making sure you love life, all you have to remember is the formula of training hard, eating well and rest well 80% of the time.
If you go back into “survival mode” from getting out of the habit of putting the work in, when everything becomes too big an effort and unpleasant to do, and nobody wants to end up there as its a big rut to get out of.
Today is critical to how your week turns out, not only physically but mentally too. Be kind on yourself.
