All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.

As difficult as it can be to always push your limits, I will admit, it always feels so amazing to surpass your own goals. I set my limits high, even sometimes to a point that may be unreachable for myself on a given day, but I do my best and put in 100% effort every time. I would much rather…

Helping others has made my life so much more amazing and has truly enlightened me. It is so energizing knowing how much good you can do for another human being simply by being kind and even saying as little as one sentence. It you truly want to be a better person, move toward your personal goals…

Had a bit of a bad day today - had an exam that didn’t go particularly well, played some online games with my friends and only seemed to do well when I played on my own (which is really frustrating because they now all think I’m shit and I’m not goddammit) and had a couple of arguments with my mum. On top of that I gave into my desire for comfort food massively and bought myself a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke of which I drank at least 3/4 in a few hours. Was feeling pretty shit about myself and wrote a really angsty blog post but then deleted it and decided to work out instead.

I upped the amount of skipping I do as a warmup from 120 to 150, and was feeling pretty good so decided to up the amount of squats I do in a rep from 15 to 20. Did my squat-lunge supersets and was sweating hard but enjoying the burn so upped the number of tricep-dips I do from 12 to 15 a rep. Did my dip-push-up supersets, made a lot easier by focussing on when I breathe (I find push-ups really hard unless I focus on breathing) and by this point was feeling knackered.
Determined to press on, however, I did my dead-bugs and sit-ups, though the last few sit-ups were a push. I’ve recently taken to putting my hands behind my ears when I sit up rather than just having them flail about and it’s made it a lot harder. Then I did my leg-raises and glute bridge, and I held my glute bridge for 10 seconds longer than I usually did. By this point I was actually feeling a little bit sick from the amount I was pushing myself, but I wanted to finish the workout, and so I pushed myself to superset my plank by doing 20 seconds right side plank, 20 seconds middle, 20 seconds left side plank. I did that twice and then did my warm-down skips. I intended to only do 20 warmdown skips but I managed to do 20 in a row and decided to see how many I could do and got to 84, thoroughly knackered but happy. I stretched to cool down and had a shower, but still feel a little bit physically ill - though a lot more mentally composed.

If there’s one way to cheer up it’s through pushing yourself like a bitch in a workout. I may be physically dying, but emotionally I’m a lot more stable than I was an hour and a half ago. Perhaps I shouldn’t have upped so many things in one go (squats, dips, plank length, both sets of skipping) but I felt good for it, and I’m going to keep them at the rate they were from now on.
I think I only felt ill because I didn’t give my body half an hour between the last drink of diet coke and starting working out, which is definitely a lesson learned - I’m now rededicated to cutting the stuff down as much as possible, if not entirely.

TL;DR: I was angsty, pushed myself really hard in a workout, am now not so angsty. How’s everyone else’s day been?
