It's The Bearded Man 97. Embrace the Suck : Lean Into the Pain
When things get tough in your life, do you attack it straight on or do you let your foot off the gas and ease up? When you’re on the last set of a workout, the last mile of a run, the last five minutes of a Yoga class, do you take it easy or push yourself to the limit? Does pushing yourself outside the comfort zone scare you or does it excite you?
Today I want to dive into why we need to learn to Embrace The Suck and how by doing so it not only make us mentally & physically stronger, but it shows us what we’re really made of. Embrace The Suck each and everyday of your life and you’re going to see what your ultimate potential is.
Three steps to Embracing The Suck
- (1) One Small Step At A Time : Think of ways you can break these massive goals / ideas you’re working on into smaller tasks. Success isn’t some massive leap, it’s the product of mini steps that are taken over a long period of time.
- (2) Quiet The Mind : We need to let the pessimistic thoughts come in & out of our mind by fighting back with optimistic thoughts.
- (3) Visualize The Finish Line : By knowing where we’re going, it not only provides us with daily inspiration but it also helps us push through the hurdles that come along the way.
Challenge for the listeners
- Which of the three do you need to work on the most? Focusing on the one step daily, quieting the mind or visualizing the finish line
