160518 - CrossFit | Wednesdays with Hannah P.

“The decision to go deeper into meditation is not made just once. We make it again and again, at deeper and deeper levels, knowing that no single intention will carry us forward forever. This month’s strong resolution becomes next month’s malaise, unless we keep renewing the resolution, reinventing it, refocusing ourselves on it.” –Sally Kempton, Meditation for the Love of It

I was reading recently and came upon this quote. It really resonated with me, but instead of resonating about meditation, it really hit me in regards to my fitness journey. We are all on our own fitness journeys, and we have to constantly renew our resolutions, reinvent them, and refocus ourselves on our resolutions.

We all face struggles in our journey- it might be making it to CrossFit class, or getting the form down on a particular movement, or getting your first (fill in the blank with the name of CrossFit exercise). We can let the fact that we aren’t the best, or that we didn’t achieve our goal, or didn’t do as well as we thought we would hold us back. Or we can choose to renew and reset our intentions. Perhaps your original goal was a bit lofty, or your goals were too scattered, or you just weren’t able to get in enough work to make the progress you hoped for. It’s ok and it happens to all of us!

We can continue to improve and make progress when we keep renewing our commitment to fitness. Together, and with enough effort and desire, we can do it! Let’s re-commit to CrossFit and our fitness goals. 

Your assignment: Write a sentence (or more) in your workout journal (or elsewhere) to remind yourself of your resolution. What can you focus on this week or month to continue to make progress?
