10 Lessons I’ve Learned From One Shot Wellness.
Life can be tough, right? We all have bad days and good ones.
But one bad day doesn’t mean we have a bad life.
(Remember that)
I was fortunate to find that working out has helped me get through the tough times. For the days where I feel heavy burdened, overwhelmed and like I want to crawl in a hole…I put together a list of things that I needed as a reminder to keep coming to the gym and workout on a regular basis.
Below is a random list of things I have learned and continue to learn from the great coaches and athletes at One Shot and the community in general.
1. I can do it. Whatever it is, I can do it.
2. The easy-looking challenges usually aren’t. The opposite also holds true.
3. Listen to your coaches; they are usually right.
4. Mistakes are to be made. The key is to make them only once.
5. Twenty minutes can take forever or twenty minutes can fly by.
6. Correct technique brings strength, especially in times of struggle.
7. Your encouragement makes me stronger; encouraging you makes me happier.
8. I should have skipped rope more as a kid.
9. Surprising results come from sheer determination.
10. The strongest or the weakest muscle in your body is usually between the ears. Make it the strongest for success.
Take what you want from this list, or develop your own. The important thing is to realize that even though there will be days when you feel you can’t do it, in the end, you always can—if you try. Focusing on these things has directed my journey and it’s what brings me to wanting to teach others how to navigate life’s challenges.
Getting yourself to the gym is usually the most difficult part of a fitness routine. Close your eyes and imagine you are driving to the gym. Now imagine you’ve grabbed your water bottle and gear and are now walking through the doors of our #happygym. Your boots are off, coat set on the benches and you’re stepping into the warm-up area. Greetings and smiles await you—I bet you feel better already.
Have a GREAT workout!
