Last week I set myself up for a “fail” at Aykley Heads cross country.
Mentally I was beaten before I woke up in the morning. I wanted to fail. I had given up on myself for that race, on that day…
The power of the mind, whether positive or negative, cannot be ignored. To be your best you must believe 100% in yourself.
You must never limit yourself or underestimate your true abilities.
What if you’re capable of a lot more than you could ever imagine?
The average person will have a belief about what he or she can realistically achieve.
The mere use of the word realistic suggests that the person does not dream wildly about what they could be capable of.
Last week I displayed the worst of the worst in terms of putting myself down, defeating myself, underestimating my ability and destroying my confidence and belief system.
So destructive was the negativity that the brain was even saying to give up and never try ever again.
But sometimes you need to hit a low to realise that the only way is up.
It’s a chance to right some wrongs, do things differently and rebuild the belief system back up.
And so having licked the wounds and having received some valuable support and reminders about what I am capable of achieving I am ready to truly turn a corner and get back on track.
I’ve been reading The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy and I need little steps every day to get back on track…
I love running no less for one bad day in the mud and I’ll be back fighting for every yard next time round…Saturday.
