There, I said it, I am really really weak sometimes. Ya know what, I can admit it. I can, which, in all reality is half of the battle. So, when you look at your weakness...really evaluate it...face to face you see, you've admitted it...you are half way there...now, it's just the perseverance...the getting past it. I liken any battle of the mind to running....I love to run...but, once you've been off for a bit, and restart its about pushing yourself past the pain...past the tightness in your chest, past the shin splints, and past the "I can't run anymore," it's the same exact thing...it's just the keeping going.
For, when I am weak, then I am strong. And, I really am. It is in my weakness that I am very very strong. I can overcome anything, I have that much faith in myself in my ability. It's retraining your mind, and often times, the true battle of the mind is about self-worth really. Think about it...some struggle with the "mind battle" of dieting...someone once told me that people who struggle with food are really struggling with self-worth...they feel they are unworthy of a healthy body...same principal applies to so many battles of the mind. WE are worth much more than the battle we are struggling with. Some struggle with negative thoughts (I've been there...the persistent self-critique), I'm worth WAY more than that.
Identify our weakness, and push forward....really really hard....the shin splints...the chest tightness...all of it....on the other side this will look like a cake walk...AND, we will be 100x's stronger.
It's ok to be weak. Honestly, in our society hearing someone say "I'm weak" or "this makes me weak" ITS RARE!!! Most men and women really believe themselves to be flawless....there is a certain amount of beauty in the stark boldness it takes to say "I'm weak..."...and, there is a certain amount of beauty in taking that identified weakness and making ourselves REALLY REALLY strong out of it.
