Hello! My name is Natalie and I have decided to start blogging on hopefully a weekly basis. This will be about fitness, life, and everything in between. I was hesitant to start something like this because I am just going to write from my soul here. I also think I was hesitant because if I started writing I would have to keep up with my word and actually write weekly and not half a$$ this.
Ok so I am just going to start with what’s on my mind this very second.
I am in a very hard part of my life right now. Everyday I am discovering more and more about myself. Just today I had an awesome legs workout when I went in not really feeling like being there. As soon as I started legs I just let myself get into this zone of pushing myself for my own good. I would have to say one of the most rewarding feelings happens when you are fighting with your own mind and you win the battle. Today I was able to push myself when my mind wanted me to stop at 12 reps. I fought with it until I reached 15 reps.
My mind was trying to stop me once it got tough. But I said no. We all fight battles with our minds. And for me I feel like it keeps winning the majority of the battles. I really want to do one thing and my mind has this way of keeping me from really doing it. I gotta tell you it’s a disturbing feeling. I feel like I don’t have control over myself anymore. And I would really like to get it back. I know this will happen one day, but for now my mind is really screwing with me.
Ok that sounded a little dark towards the end. I apologize for that! But you get my drift.
The mind is a powerful tool whether we have control or not. Stayed tune………………
