musclerose’s BodyBlog

Hi guys. If you’ve read my last blog, you may have noticed or not a lot of undertones to my message. If you are familiar with my character, you know I’m usually witty and do not blog about negative things. I try to keep it on a positive, even during not so positive situations. Lately, I have had a few curves thrown at me, as we all do at some point and time, and to be frank, it’s been really tough. However, the one constant has been my training and my continued progress in the gym. Training has really been a Godsend for me because I have been in my head a lot these few weeks. Funny how life makes you face facts huh? You look around and you realize that if you don’t get off the ground after a hard swift kick in the ass, you’ll find yourself just sitting there and waiting. Well, who else is going to pick you up if you don’t at least dig your heals in and try to get your balance? You began to see that you are a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. Emotional/mental strength is so needed when you use your physical muscle because it takes emotional/mental strength to even “believe” you can accomplish the physical.

I find that once you decide to dust yourself off and get back on path again, you take with you a strength which truly defines that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Going the distance is something we all do without even thinking about it. It’s either we push through and move on, or we continue to swim circles in our own mental fish bowls. A quote I have heard and found to be true will sum up this entire message …“Pain is your friend as long as you don’t live there – use it for drive. When you find your drive, you find lasting reasons within yourself to continue to move forward.” (Tony Robbins)
