GOING ALL IN

Going all in...
Going all in requires a level of mental acceptance that when confronted, ignores any physical/mental pain. There are certain workouts, tasks, goals, life achievements that require a mental acceptance and commitment required to go all in. For example, we all at some level have seen a workout/task and have known that it was going to hurt. Some of us accept the pain and push ourselves deep into that pain cave and others let up right before it hurts, or even quit when the pain starts. I can tell you that this is reflective in not only their workouts but every aspect of their life. If you are afraid of pain, committing to anything that might provoke pain, and/or quit before it gets painful, you are self sabotaging your potential. Going all in and accepting the fact that it may be painful with anything in life is the first step in committing to success. Going all in from the beginning helps to mentally push past any pain when it arrives, for when it does, you have already mentally accepted it from the beginning and are better prepared to adapt and move through it. Go all in with everything you do. If you don’t think going all in with something like one workout is going to carry over to other commitments in your life, you are wrong. Think about it this way, if you can’t go all in for one small workout, what says you will for larger more important things in your life. -AT
