Turning the switch

 I have signed myself up for a 6-week fitness challenge. I’m not sure if I thought this decision through completely but I committed to it and I’m going to do it. Six weeks of CrossFit. Five days of week of nothing but blood, sweat and tears. This is week two, and I’m finding my rhythm. I will say the first day was interesting. Literally I was on the floor rocking out blurpies and wondering what in the world did I get myself into. This morning I sat in a conference room talking to someone about my workouts and a switch went off in my head. The same determination I had when I initial decided to do this is even stronger now. I’m thankful to my trainers and team mates they push me even when I don’t have one more to give. Each day I’m giving myself a 100%. Even on the days I don’t want too and now I’m thinking about incorporating two workout each day. I began to reflect on other areas of my life where I simply just need to turn on the switch. There are things that are dormant, and I have been putting them on the back burner and today I realized it’s time to turn the switch and light a fire under myself. I’m realizing that in my circle I am the go getter. The person who pushes others to see their full potential, but at times I don’t have that for myself. Thankfully I joined this challenge, and my trainers have been the ones who are now the driving force to me pushing beyond the stagnate point I was sitting at. It’s amazing how you can find motivation in some the weirdest places and sometimes it’s not from the people you believe it would be from.  Dust off some of your old dreams, goals and inspirations. Give them another try. If you can’t find motivation from anyone else, I don’t mind giving you an encouraging word from time to time. Sometimes that’s all you need is someone to be a cheerleader when you feel the score is too low to win the game.
