DRS Strong Week 6- Positive Mindset

"I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't" -Paul Presley

There are thoughts that can invade and blur our thinking. There are physical limits that can impede continuing but there is one thing that we can control and that is our mind. Our mind is very powerful and it can help when needed. Week 6 was a test to your mental strength and perseverance; you saw high reps of front squats and countless pushups and dips just to mention few. All with a reason behind it, and one of the reasons is to prepare you for what is ahead. No, this does not mean that the reps will increase more and more, this means that as your body gets prepared and increases work capacity, your mind needs to expand to withstand physical challenges.

We had a primer example with out very own Kolbie Nguyen. She had been doing CrossFit for 3 years and was never able to do a rope climb. She had the strength and the background to do it but her mind lacked confidence. As of Wednesday October 5th, she completed an 18ft rope climb. This not only showed mental toughness but she is overcoming her fear of heights and training her mind to go farther then ever imaginable. Great job Kolbie!

Lets focus this week on mental strength and positive mindset, especially because week 7 will be testing week! Hoorah!

Why do we hesitate to do things we want to do? What makes us scared? We might never have the answers to a lot of questions, and believe me I love questions haha! But what I do know is that we are only here with an expiration date so why not go and seek adventure and do the things we are afraid of doing and trying. Anything worthwhile is both scary but yet super empowering. The thrill of doing something out of your comfort zone, outside of your circle, speaking in front of thousands, singing out loud, the saying dance like nobody is watching! so so true for all of us! Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate every part of you. Dig deep in your own feeling and your own brain. Share the love of something with someone you choose. Read poems, do the photoshoot you have always wanted, sky dive ( never have I ever haha) Get in the gym and kick your butt! don't be afraid to be the last one of the class, it won't be for long! Talk on the phone more often, ask your crush on a beach walk :) anything that you always have wanted to do. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Stay Strong, DRS Strong! Coach RRA
