SELF TALK

Posted by: | Comments (10)

Is it time to eat? Is it time to poop? Is it time to sleep? Is it time to play? That's all I got.

Every motivational book that I have ever read says something along the lines that human beings have about 10,000 thoughts per day (Riv has 4).  The problem is that for the most part we have the SAME 10,000 thoughts today that we had yesterday.  So this begs the question, what are you thinking about?  What is the dialogue that you’re having with yourself, and most importantly, what is the dialogue that you are having with yourself right before, and during your workout?  Are you telling yourself beforehand that you are strong, fast, and capable of accomplishing anything?  Or are you telling yourself that it’s going to be hard, it’s going to hurt and hopefully, by the grace of god you’ll manage to get through it somehow?  Be very, very vigilant about the thought patterns that you are running before leaving your house to come to CPC, in the car on the way to CPC, and then especially right before and during a workout.  The brain can only hold one thought at a time, so having a default thought of “I CAN DO IT” is a great way to make sure that nothing negative or self-sabotaging is creeping in.  Anyone have a trick to share on this subject?  Please post to comments.
