465 lbs...Mind over Matter Casey!
I heard this phrase last night and it really made me think…if you know me at all, you know I am obessed with the power of our mental capacity.
Why is it that some people are ultra successful and some people are NOT?
Or lets put it in CrossFit terms…
Why is it some people push harder than others?
Why do some CrossFitters have a ton of improvements and success and some people never really “Get it” and end up stopping/quitting?
Why can some people stick to Paleo better than others?
Now questions to ask YOURself…
When is the last time you have given YOUR BEST effort?
Do you do your best each and every time you WOD?
What holds you back?
What grade would you give yourself in your CrossFit career up to this point? (Ex: WODing, Paleo, practicing movements, stretching, etc…)
Are you coasting through the summer???
The great thing about CrossFit is you have an opportunity to improve every single time you step into the box.
Below is a cool blog I found to help you mentally train yourself not only for CrossFit but in life as well. “Train your brain like your muscles and everything will improve for the good.”
Enjoy!
