Learning to Take my Foot Off the Gas

Being the type of person who constantly pushes & strives for more in every area of my life has benefited me more than it’s harmed me, therefore I’ve not been motivated to really address or change it (even when it‘d be more beneficial to do so)

I've made conscious efforts in many areas of my life. But I need to improve with physical activity

I have a tendency to not always honor my body’s cues (believe it or not with all my love & honor your body talk)

When I‘m working with my coach I feel like I absolutely must do every workout & pour everything into each cardio session too & only take a rest day when given—all regardless of how sore or in pain I am (that’s not working smart)

Sometimes I’d find myself wishing I just had another rest day

Yet I do it anyway bc my mind is far more resilient than my body

Sometimes this is necessary, like in prep there’s gunna be more times for this than in an off season

But its not always healthy or conducive to my goals

I’m not one to slack but taking extra time to recover or not going 110% all the time doesn’t mean I’m a slacker—if anything it would make me more effective in getting the results

I just never saw it that way because I wanted to uphold this “serious athlete” identity which I’ve attached some unfair expectations to

As much as it’s important to push past your limits it’s just as important to understand your needs

I realize that for me it’s “easy” to do hard work but it’s hard work for me to “take it easy” if that makes sense?

I even told my coach I “shouldn’t” have to be told to listen to my body & I should do what I know is best bc logically I get it but I struggle bc of things I mentioned earlier & he said something that really stuck with me

He said that because I’m the type of person I am, he wouldn’t be doing his job as my coach if he didn’t remind me that it’s okay to take a step back, listen to my body, & provide myself the rest necessary

That gave me perspective

I realize I don’t hire a coach to tell me to do things bc trust me, I’m going to get it done no matter what; I have a coach to help me do things effectively & smart

So I’ve been reflecting a lot on that & making an effort to begin acknowledging what my body needs more

The biggest kicker? I had become sooo attached to maintaining & keeping my results that I clung onto them so tightly as if they might disappear if I didn’t uplevel & demand more of myself

When in reality, I have to detach from the results so they can truly integrate into my norm. Not from fear of loss but in acceptance of it being mine

You know what I mean?

In order to consistently get results I must do what can be consistently done and sustained

So here’s to celebrating my continued personal growth & development 🙂

Where are you focused on improving your life right now?
