Difficulties

Life has a habit of getting in the way. The last week has been difficult for me in that I’ve had a hard time fitting my training into my days. This obviously means that I haven’t done a very good job of taking advantage of my opportunities. Too much time wasted time on the internet, too much procrastination, and most of all - laziness has crept into my routine. I feel like there is a fine line between not beating yourself up for missing a class/training, and being complacent. I’ve worked hard to get rid of the guilt that I was feeling previously but now I feel like I have swung too far in the other direction. I have to find that balance where I take advantage of the times that I can train but I don’t sweat the times that I don’t.

I’ve often felt that, in the past, I’ve been too accepting of putting in a mediocre effort. Some people are perfectionists and I used to view myself (at times) as a “good enough-ist”. I don’t feel that way anymore but old habits die hard. It seems like every day I’m reminded that training your mind is way harder than training your body.
