I did the hard part already. I woke up and got myself to the gym. The rest of my day will be easier when I’m all done with this workout. I’m right about there. This workout at no point got any easier, but I had to do it right now. This way I’m free for the rest of my day. I’m free of every thought that would of otherwise weighed me down. Every day I do this I get lighter in the feet. Though every morning I start this I am even heavier than the day before. It’s a paradox that works only if you can get over that hurdle that is your mind telling you all the reasons why you shouldn’t do it today. Why you should just rest and take it easy. There’s no reason to get all worked up about it just lay back down. Yea… get over that part and you reach the state of infinite, where every possibility is possible to you. Not just the ones you allow yourself to see.
That’s the trick, isn’t it? Every morning, your body feels like it’s carrying the weight of the world. The bed holds you in place, whispering about how much you deserve more rest, how this day isn’t meant for you to grind, but the moment your feet touch the ground, all that changes. The world doesn’t get any lighter, but you do. You move with a purpose, and each rep chips away at the doubts trying to hold you back. Every step, every lift, brings you closer to that place where the mental chatter fades, and all that’s left is clarity.
It’s funny how the mind creates illusions. It paints a picture of rest being the solution, but rest without action becomes a prison. The kind of prison where your mind keeps spinning with all the “what ifs” and “should haves” that could have been avoided. But when you step into the discomfort, when you choose action over hesitation, the shackles fall away. Your body may tire, but your mind sharpens. You start to see what’s possible, not just what’s hard.
So, here I am again. I’ve crossed the bridge from comfort to commitment. The hardest part wasn’t the reps; it was deciding to start. Now, on the other side, I see that infinite state clearly—the state where I’m no longer held back by yesterday’s excuses or today’s aches. The state where I get to design my day instead of letting it design me. That’s why I show up again and again. Not because it gets easier, but because I get better.
