The hardest part about climbing up hill is not the beginning. In the beginning you have a nice flow of adrenaline that keeps you excited and your vision clear. The hardest part comes when you feel the pain. The doubts come in and you start to rethink your original goal Looking back down the mountain, as you take a breather, you think, that looks like a leisurely stroll and it takes much more determination to look up the mountain again.
But ...
what if you "change" the pain? What if, instead of pain, you visualize your muscles getting stronger, the beautiful view that you will have when you reach your goal or someone standing next to you telling you all of your finer qualities? How much more valuable are the steps when the perspective has changed? or support is given?
Middle of the week is always the hardest ...
The benefits I'm seeing: stronger muscles, easier breathing, better sleeping, clearer mind, looser pants -- and that's just in 4 days. I wonder what 7 days will be like?
Another mile running on the treadmill.
