Pushing Through

June 20, 2008 17:19 by Chris Smith

Have you noticed that when you are really up against something that you expect to be difficult something starts to happen in your mind and body.  The mind runs a 'hardship movie' and the body responds by sending heavy and lethargic signals to your muscles.  Have you also noticed that it only takes a slight shift of thought to turn that around completely?

I had a session at the gym yesterday morning and if truth be known I felt really fatigued before I got there.  I am lucky to work with a trainer who knows how to motivate me.  Even so, yesterday I began to think how hard the second set of exercises would be with 50kg weights.  My mind made a quick picture of buckling and giving up on the last rep.  Somehow I quickly switched the picture to the last time that I had done this really easily.  I saw myself pushing through and lifting the weights easily.  I also remembered to breath in the right places and I instantly upped my game!

That reads across into so many other areas of my life and it will do in yours too.  Remember that the anticipation of navigating through a tough day or a challenging conversation or negotiation can seem too much sometimes.  It only takes a shift of a single thought to decide to push through and remember a time when you pushed through something and got a great result.  You already have a winning formula.  Think about certainty of achievement and then let your higher self take over.  What is even better is that when you have pushed through and lifted your load or completed what would have seemed like an impossible workload or remit, you will find a power and source of energy that is infinite.  Not only will you complete what you set out to do, you will exceed your own expectations.  When you look back on what you have done you will feel really amazing and powerful AND you will want to do it over and over.  Keep pushing through and get more out of your life.
