Day 12

Today I really felt the importance of working out. It has become such an important piece of who I am. I struggled earlier today with patience and not getting frustrated by even little things. I felt tired and worn down. I’m proud of myself for working hard and getting so much done despite how I as feeling. When I went to work out I wasn’t feeling up to it. I decided to take today to take it slow and be mindful. I went up in some weights for a challenge. I noticed yesterday that I struggle with doing that. Keeping up going up in weights in at least one exercise. Yesterday I did the same exact weights as before and I think this is the third week. I’m reminded of the guy who helped me become a much better climber, he said “I climbed routes that were above my level until I could do them.” Failure is an option. The first time going up in weights there will be moments where you might not get the target number of reps and that is okay. I need to tell myself this more to push further. It’s okay to fall off a route a hundred times because when you get to the top it is that much better.
