Mind over matter to conquer the muscle

So in today’s workout training, my trainer said while doing planks — it’s all about mind over matter, you can do it if you think you can do it. As they say, ‘most battles are first fought in the minds of the great warriors and then in the battleground’. It is true, isn’t it? So if you are into fitness and the next time you want to give up while doing planks, just try to think of something beautiful, some place serene, some delicacy of your choice (although that would prove counter-productive, but for this example, let’s assume you can prowess your mind into thinking anything better than that workout) and I bet you, you can do a little more than before. Now that ain’t unheard of in the workout circles. You might have heard it a million times we need to push our limits each time.

It’s no different in life you need to push your limit each time you want to give up on your dreams, each time you want to quit that job, each time you want to break free from routine, each time you want to break that relationship, you say, No, not today, today let’s push the limit a little harder. Nopes. No. Nah. Never!!! What? No, that’s not what you mean? What do you mean then?

If you thought this was some motivational piece, then it isn’t. You don’t find yourself progressing in your career and are stuck, quit that job. You don’t find the relationship as exciting as it used to…
