Making My Lesser Self Cry: The Power of INTENSITY!🔥
Ever have that inner voice tempting you to take it easy? Telling you to slow down, relax, or maybe even skip the hard stuff? Yeah, that’s my Lesser Self talking, and it hates the word INTENSITY with a passion! In fitness—and in life—my Lesser Self is my Enemy. It waits, watching closely, ready to strike whenever I hesitate. It whispers: “Just take a little rest.” “You’re doing enough already.” “That’s good enough; just stop.” But when those whispers come, that’s the cue to PUSH HARDER. My Heroic Self steps up, reminding me that it’s time to go Beyond the Limit—not just to hit 100 reps but to go beyond and crank out bonus reps just because I can.💪 The truth is, the voice of doubt and comfort will always be there, lurking. But every time I choose to go beyond it, my Lesser Self cries a little more... This has taught me that pushing through those moments of “I can’t” strengthens not just the body but also the mind and spirit. Intensity isn’t just a workout principle—it’s a mindset. Next time you feel that urge to rest or settle, challenge it: 1. Go a Step Beyond: Set your goal, and when you hit it, push a little further. It could be 5 extra reps, another mile, or another 10 minutes on a project. 2. Treat Comfort as the Enemy: Recognize that comfort wants to keep you where you are. See it as the sign to turn up the heat. 3. Keep Your Heroic Self in Charge: Take control, banish that lesser voice, and show up with INTENSITY. Every time I hit the gym, work on a project, or face a challenge, I’m choosing Intensity over Ease. I’m training myself to listen to the Heroic Self, not the Lesser Self. Every rep, every step, every action is about being Relentless and Unstoppable. Are you ready to make your Lesser Self cry?
