Stronger Than Yesterday

"Honestly. How do you view yourself, in your mind’s eye? It’s a simple question, but often with not-so-simple answers. And yet those answers matter so much to your work, your workout, your health, your happiness, your love, your life. How you see yourself is absolutely critical to what and how you achieve in this life."

Wise words from 'CrossFit Lisbeth', one of the most insightful, bold, honest and entertaining CrossFit bloggers I've read.

She asks how I see myself.........and I'm not sure how to answer. But I know she is right. It is critical to how I achieve goals, deal with set backs and move forward in my life. It is critical to how I perform.

With Discover CrossFit only days away, I need to answer this question. On Saturday will I have the courage to be who I want to be? Will I be strong, capable, sure in my movements, confident in my training?

Yes. Because I am starting to view myself as an athlete. I have not achieved all my fitness goals but I am stronger than I was yesterday and that was stronger than I was the day before.
