I was recently reading an article on bodybuilding.com about motivation tips. I sometimes have trouble motivating myself to go to the gym, but it hasn't been a big issue, so I typically just read motivational articles for entertainment, or just because. They usually are quickly forgotten before I get back to my own personal motivating thoughts. However, there was one that struck me that I wanted to share. It said:
"What you do right now is the most important thing in the world."
The advice was that when you are doing a heavy set, when you're doing cardio, and even when you're consuming your post-workout (well balanced!) meal/supplement/shake, that what are you doing in that moment is what counts. It's what really matters and in that moment you need to make it the most important thing in the world.
After that, you forget it. You don't dwell on failures or even successes. You learn from the failures, try to repeat the successes, but stay in the moment when you are training.
I liked that idea a lot and have been applying that mindset to my workouts. It has helped me build a better mind-muscle connection. As I think about the importance of what I'm doing, excelling at it becomes paramount and therefore I concentrate harder and push myself harder.
