It wanted to slow you down this morning. It did so, for a bit. It made you believe that you were behind somehow. Well I guess it’s ok to say you were a bit behind, were… not anymore you’re not. You’re reaching the point I had in my head. You’re reaching having enough done for the rest of your day to be a nice easy breeze. Another day will pass and you’ll once again be one step closer to being where you’ve been wanting to be. A vacation from all of this. From your daily requirements. From your chaotic mind. From the routine in the gym. Just a full break from it all. It’s so close to you now, you can almost taste it. Your body itches for it. That itching is good, it’s what has made you continue through it all this morning. It made you push past the wall of feeling bad for yourself for not having done enough.
So now that wall is behind you, and you’ve managed to climb over it. That familiar feeling of pushing past the struggle, of reaching beyond what you thought you could handle, is starting to sink in. You’ve done it before, and now you’ve done it again. It’s always in these moments, when you feel the most tired, when you think you have nothing left, that you find there’s always a little more in the tank. A little more energy, a little more willpower, just enough to keep moving forward.
That itch to rest, to stop, is there because you’ve earned it. You’ve put in the work and now your body craves the reward. But remember, that reward isn’t just the break; it’s the knowledge that you pushed through. That you didn’t give in when things got hard. That you kept going when others would have stopped. Every rep, every step, every breath brings you closer to that moment where you can finally exhale, knowing you gave everything.
And when that moment comes, it will taste so much sweeter because of days like today. Days where you didn’t feel like it but did it anyway. Days where the weight of it all seemed too much, but you carried it. The rest is coming, but today? Today is about finishing what you started, about proving to yourself that no matter what, you always follow through. Today is about setting the tone for tomorrow’s victory.
