Summary
Is there is a small mental shift we can make to turn training from a pain into something we look forward to on a deeper level? We think the answer is yes, and today we look at how to make that happen. It starts with believing what you're doing is a good thing for the body and mind. There's also a lot of power in patience. Knowing that today's little step will compound with many other things to get you where you want to go. It's not about the finish line, it's about exploring your true potential, no matter what that looks like. Right now is a great way to figure out how you really feel about this journey and rewire your mind in a way that makes you believe in yourself and the long game.
