A while ago I was at my chiropractor’s office. I had been weightlifting for a while and was seeing some really good progress, and while I was there my chiropractor said something to me that changed how I think about myself and my physical fitness on a foundational level.
It was super offhand, I bet he doesn’t even remember. I had asked him a question about something, I can’t even remember what it was, and he said “Well, for athletes like yourself, I usually recommend such and such” and answered my question.
Wait. What? Athlete? Who, me??
After I left I just kept thinking about what he said.
I’m not an athlete, I’m a mom! A woman who likes to go to the gym…not an athlete, that seems too intense.
But the more I though about it, I realized it was true. My workouts at the gym were focused on a goal, my eating habits were supporting that goal, and I was working hard to reach a physical goal.
And you know what? I realized that I WAS an athlete. He was right. I was training my body for a physical achievement in mind, and that makes me an athlete.
I had undermined my own abilities by telling myself that what I was doing was “just” exercise, but it isn’t. I’m TRAINING. Training for a goal.
This mental shift changed so much for me. How I saw myself, how I saw the effort I was putting into my health and fitness.
I want that for you!
Today’s episode is all about having the mindset of an athlete, and how that can literally change the outcome of your efforts.
