The only thing stopping you
... is you.
It's time to rewrite those stories that aren't serving you.
... To believe in you and what you are capable of.
... To set bigger goals.
... To require more of yourself.
... To take control of your thinking.
... To create a new identity.
... And take consistent daily action.
Today, in my mind, I became a runner.
I rewrote a story that I've been telling myself for over 30 years, that "this body doesn't run."
On July 18th, 2022 - while embarking upon another much needed round of Andy Frisella's elite mental toughness program 75 Hard - I set a goal to run 20 min by October 1st, 2022.
My starting point was 1 min - even that was exhausting - and my body wasn't happy. I was like a fish out of water.
Thankfully each day got a tiny bit easier and each week I slowly increased my time and I got more into my body.
However, three weeks ago my goal didn't seem achievable. I wasn't where I needed to be and I was getting discouraged.
I dug deep, pushed myself, changed my self talk and "miraculously" - out of nowhere - I hit 20 minutes... two weeks ahead of schedule.
That had me question my beliefs and wonder what else I was capable of.
I reset my goal to 30 min and got back at it.
I took control of my mind and got out of my own way.
Today I hit 46 minutes.
I created a new identity and rewrote a story.
I let go of - and updated - a bullshit belief.
This body does run.
More importantly, I feel a renewed sense of confidence and belief in myself.
What else have I been wrong about?
Where else have I been limiting myself?
I can't wait to find out...
