Funny, the more I feel the pain of the workout... The more my brain tells me: This is hard. Ouch. Pain. Woe is me. Ouch.

That reverse plank & commando pushup hurt my elbows & palm joints...

But fixed my form & just literally shouted:

STOP IT BRAIN. I& #39;M IN CHARGE.
FOLLOW ME!

I& #39;ve done this consistently before for several times over the course of 16 months.

Emotions are good, but too much is spiral!

That has always been my biggest problem.

Now I& #39;m a big proponent on "Detachment". https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart"> I can care and not care at the same time.

Because I was always at the mercy of someone else, especially my shadow self!

And boy, did that really hurt!

How I circumvent this? It& #39;s not just detachment, but pure willpower. It is hard, because it takes practice to form and solidify.

You need LOADS OF PATIENCE!
That is what mistakes & roadblocks are for. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes">

They help you course-correct while having compassion and patience for yourself...

( *IF you choose to do that.* )

And you& #39;d be surprised at how talking out loud would overwrite the assumptions you have of your weakness.

It& #39;s making use of the brain process in #neuroscience called "Efference Copy". And is the same reason why we are prone to external validation too.

Look it up. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes"> You can use it for any area of your life too, not just fitness.

So that& #39;s why the army soldiers shout!
I get it now. Battle cry really works!

Science, bitch. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Smiling face with sunglasses" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with sunglasses">

Sooo many people are far too demotivated, thinking they& #39;re weak — only to find that they were just uneducated all along!

Knowledge is power.
Taking action is virtue.
