Training

 So I’ve been training for two days now, the benefits will be soon to come.  Today I felt that burn, which I used to experience many moons ago. It is a good feeling, it’s almost like burning negative energy, tiring at first but that is good that brings sleep and recoup.

A succession of rounds made up of basic exercises with low minute (to start off) shadow boxing. Does not sound like much but on day two of it, I can say I feel like it’s doing something, experience tells me to keep going.  

Willpower? Willingness to continue? This is not a problem as I need to, I have dependents, I deserve this self improvement. Mentally and physically this is going to put me ahead.  Plus it is so easy to fit it in my daily routine. 

What I’m fighting through, physically arthritis is hitting me like a steam train, the job is slowly giving me repetitive strain.  Mentally I’m battling depression, anxiety and stress.  Obviously our current situation does not help, though if I can just do this for myself then hopefully I can improve how I cope through this period of uncertainty.

“ if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread over into your work, into your mortality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”
