Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
A wise person recently shared similar words with me about believing in my abilities. I am not sure why I struggle with this so much. It might be because I always want to push myself beyond the limits and when I don't take it up one notch it is hard to be satisfied with my final effort. I have always been a goal orientated person. When I played basketball in high school, I remember not leaving practice until I made 10 free throws in a row. Even to this day, when we are playing basketball in our backyard I can't go in the house until I have made my last basket. I need to learn to take a step back and live in the moment; celebrate a victory and use my experiences to improve for the next performance.
Today's Workouts
Mod-Strong Spin Class.
Planned distance-22 miles
Swim Workout
Completed distance 2200 yards.
After I had finished my first workout I received the news that my grandmother had just passed away. Keeping my emotions intact, I mustered up enough energy to do my second workout. Most of my swim time was spent reliving memories of good times with her. She was a special lady and I already miss her dearly.
