Today kinda sucked. I didn’t get much sleep this weekend, and the time change screwed up my internal clock a wee bit. Made it to the gym no problem, but just never really dropped in to my workout. This morning, the weights worked me out, not the other way around. I’m continually blown away realizing how intensely my internal state and presence affects my performance in the gym. Today I was doing the same exercises, same weights, in the same room at the same time of the day as I do every Monday. But without the complete presence of my mind also pushing the weights, the workout just wasn’t the same, and I know I wasn’t reallly giving 100%.
But, at least I went, and I will keep on going. One of the joys of any routine or personal practice is the continual reminder that all states are impermanent. Next week I may have the best PUSH workout of my life. The week after that, who knows….the trick is just to keep showing up.
Especially now that spring is coming, meaning summer is just around the corner….got to be lookin’ good for those bathing suit days, HA!
