Emotional state today: Mix of down and not down
I did Workout A today and was surprised to find I did much better than I thought I did. I completed 4 sets each of 25 squats and 25 pushups, and I had it in my head that I’d done a lot more in the past. But looking back, I see that only once have I done 5 sets, and this was my fastest time for completing 4 sets.
What I’m learning is that my tendency is to raise the bar on myself and redefine the past. I think this is how I create the feeling of being stuck in life, of not acknowledging the progress that I’m making. In that way, being stuck becomes a story I tell myself.
