😂😂😂😂😂 I scream at my mind to shut up when I’m aching during a parkrun and my mind is telling me to stop or take a walking break. I scream at my mind enforcing military style PE training. Nothing so fluffy as that message. My mind is weak, but my body is strong. These messages are the reason why I left Facebook 5 years ago. 😂😂😂😂😀😂

That’s what I’m battling with at the moment my mind saying no you can’t do it then actually achieving it 😂😂!! Yesterday whilst running I was saying you can do it it’s easy and it felt easier yesterday because I was focussed and was telling my mind I could do it xx

running is very much a mind game. Your body can achieve so much. But your mind is trying to be the sensible one. It tempts you firstly by saying, it’s too cold outside, sit on the couch and cuddle up with a cup of tea and a slice of cake instead. That’s when you say shut up, shut up, shut up.

Then when you running your mind tells you to stop, your too tired, take a break, you can’t do it. But you can. Just tell your weak mind to shut up, don’t be kind.😀👍

I’m running almost 3 years now since doing C25K. Last year I went from 35 minute parkrun time to 25 mins, all from telling my mind to shut up. 🤐

Thanks Damien that’s a great post and yes that is what and why I’m struggling I think I’m too old, never been a runner have a bad leg no time etc etc.. 😂that’s why this is such a challenge for me but I’m very goal driven and will get there. I’m finding that even though I’m quite a successful person your mind can keep you in a comfort zone in all areas of your life and you can apply this technique to work and finding the right relationship. This challenge has actually opened my mind up to the possibilities if you get the mind right 😀.

Really well done with your running and your advice to me it’s been really helpful xx
