Stronger everyday

[PetiteSheWolf]

I love the challenges, and admire the work the Dareteam puts in them, but I learned to go to the end of the 30 days check what the load would be before commiting !

Sending you empathy and strength!

Thank you for the supportive comments! I'm happy to report that some house-cleaning and adherence to milestones made the day go well and less frustrating.

In a way, I'm glad I got frustrated and reached a limit. It gives me feedback that adjustments are necessary. None of my frustration was meant to be directed towards Darebee content, just my own voluntary choices

Thank you again bees!

Well, hello bees! Back from what feels like my longest break in posting since I joined the community. Life happened New chapter, new start. Took some important L's on my challenges.

I did some reconnecting with my motivations for exercising and taking care of my body. It was useful to remember something I got from Darebee content: it's about the journey and not the destination. Consistency is key.

I realized I was having difficulty remaining consistent. The barrier wasn't boredom, it was a matter of quantity. Meeting daily goals became a grind and was joylessly accomplished

I've pared back to just a program. I'm relieved that my daily exercise requirements can now be accomplished in the morning, and the rest of the day is free. Freedom! LOL. It's funny how we can sometimes become the victim of our own decisions, but that's just the nature of conscious growth as a human. Part of the fun is not knowing our own limits

Anyway, thanks for reading. And who knows, I'm still in an experimental phase, maybe more adjustments will be necessary.

I often find exercising a grind. I found going to work a grind but I still did it. I find brushing my teeth a bore but I still do it. Once I started exercising and moving out of my lothful ways, I realised that exercising and trying to keep my body healthy was as important as (and in many cases more than) other things that I found time and energy to do.
I also found, as with some other things that I have to do, that if I make it fun, I'm more likely to do it. So I hum the Rocky theme when punching; I make aeroplane noises with arm circles and holds (yes, that's my inner child coming out); and I often just have some sort of story playing out in my head while I'm doing things. And if you do some exercise you really want to do, that helps, too. Purpose is important.
In my view, it doesn't really matter how much you do, just so long as you do something and you feel good while/after doing it. And experimentation is fun.

I found it very useful to understand when to push and when to slow down, stop, clarify and start again.
It works for me not to be too rigid, to experiment and be ready to change on the fly without too many thoughts.
If you simply train because you like it and it makes you feel good, there's no need to have a rigid and mandatory training program, it's something you choose and you must like it
