Spring training Day Update

Rik BrooksMay 20, 2021

Hello my loyal disciples! Happy Thursday, this week has been very difficult, I have put myself in a very compromising position. I let fear get the best of me on Monday, and didn’t get to work on my kettlebell swings. 2500 in one week seemed very overwhelming to me. I have a tendency to overestimate what I can accomplish, but when facing the actual execution of the task I have a habit of wilting. I listened to the resistance and caved in on Monday. However, after doing a little soul searching, I battled back and have currently completed 1500 kettlebell swings. I have one thousand left. I still need to hit 6 miles of running by Sunday as well. This week has been hard, but I am going to come out on top. I have been pretty silent about this, but I think it is important for all of you to see that I still struggle with following through on plans. At times, I become easily overwhelmed and forget the lessons that have carried me this far. Breaking large tasks down into smaller steps helps immensely. I am grateful for the resistance I am facing this week, because when the week is over I will have learned an important lesson. How to get tasks done when you don’t have the motivation to do them. When I am able to master this lesson I will be unstoppable. However, it is going to take a long time to learn this and consistently carry it out. The battle against the chub rages on tomorrow!
