Mindset is so important when you’re working towards a goal. Whether that’s fitness goals, belt promotions, or something off the mat, the mental game is just as important as the physical game.
You can work out like a beast, eat all the right things, and drink all the water and sports drinks, but if your mindset is negative…
Those quick results won’t last.
The only way to keep the motivation train moving forward is to get your mind on board as well.
The brain likes to trick us in an effort to keep us safe and in our comfort zone. It tells you that you can’t do hard things. Or new things. Or scary things.
The key is to redirect that thinking and remind yourself that your body is there to support you. Your body is built to be moved and stretched.
Once you get past the fear of “doing,” the brain will calm down so the body can take over.
Trust your body.
