Overcoming: Sat 10th Aug 2019
For the last couple of days, ever since I came back from a wonderful short trip to Goa, I am plagued with both internal and well as physical ill-health. Mentally not in yet, sluggish and wanting the vacation to continue and physically developed a bad toothache and a body-pain. There's also this feeling of not looking my best as I have put on a bit due to lavish eating last one week or so.
And all of this was creating a negative chatter in me - Go for workout/ Not go for workout. Miss it today. Take rest. You're not well. You've already informed that you're having a toothache. At the same time, the newly grown maturity also sits on my shoulder that says - No you got to overcome! Come on, is that all you made up of? One small pain and you'd let it dominate you and you excuse yourself? Doesn't reflect good on your part as a leader. Your team would be there... Bla bla bla...
And with these doldrums, while I did get up at 6.. I kept procrastinating all the way till 6:30. And now I added on the weight of negative voice - See I told you - now you're already late. And today is 5k/10k run so the folks won't be there by the time you reach...! Not sure if you doing right thing by still making a move.. it's 6:50 already! Something in me - kept me going .. and i wore my shoes.. negative chatter was there.. and i pressed the lift button.. the chatter was still there... sat in my car.. and whaaa.. car needed a service since long - the way i pulled it out of garage - it didn't look in a great health either... again adding to the black voice.. Hey, leave it man! car may break down. Take rest.. you anyway won't be able to meet your grp!!
"No.. I will still go.. so what? Such a great weather.. Show up, even if a bit late... Show up"... and i kept going ... luckily, didn't get any traffic.. and i reached there at ten past 7. Obviously there was nobody - the gang had left for the memorable 10k Freedom run.. but then i started my own run too. Put on a leadership tape and bang!! i was on my own.. Ran 7kms in 48mins and reached the location back at 8pm.... and then took some cool-down strolls around the park...
By now, my champion was out roaring.. i had overcome yet again and i was feeling great about myself :-) there was a pride in my stride.. a confident look that i belong here.. and i have earned my Saturday well and i will win!! In another few minutes - my buddies arrived from a rather longish run and the feeling of being with ur ReshapeNation gang at cubbon park is one of the best in the recent past...
I came back empowered .. with a fired up Self-talk running on my lips.. of growth all over.. thanking god for all the blessings in life... and pat on my back that i didn't give up! I rose up one and became stronger one more time :-)
