Hint: It is not what you see; it is how you think.

I recently got back to the gym. I notice how sore and out of gym shape I was after the first two weeks back. Mind you: I had been working out quite consistently with yoga, HIIT, upper body, lower body, and ab routines are thrown in there. Yet, somehow I was not ready for the pressure of weight put on my body. Was I doing something wrong? Could I do something different for the soreness?

No, and no, I was out of “gym shape” as many of us who just been trickling back into the gym. It takes time, weeks perhaps. My body is getting accustomed to taking the “no pain, no gain” more gingerly than before. What did not change during this whole time — my perspective.

First, I took the time during quarantine to understand how my body works. Then I was able to focus my attention on how my body feels. Finally, I was gathering the needed functions and movements I will need to reduce soreness.

Even with this preparation, nothing went as planned. I had to rethink my way of foreseeing what was to come. What I didn’t do was blame myself. Life is a learning experience. We are all meant to grow and develop in our own ways. During this time, it is easier for me to capture what needs to be changed. (Why you may have asked?)

The simple reason is to take reflection within and express it through your actions without. Give and take manifests itself during reflection.

The give of reflection is to do the following:

Adopt a growth mindset.

Revel in mistakes and successes.

Set up actionable steps.

The take of reflection is to do the following:

Be willing to know this is a learning experience.

Mistakes are apart of lessons learned.

Successes are also apart of lessons learned.

Take action from the onset.

There are a few tools you can use to set yourself up for a better perspective.

A physical calendar

If you can see it, then you can achieve it. Sounds logical enough. This is why I believe in something tangible. Put it up in a certain place to view each day does wonder to your psyche. Even better if you can cross it off in the process. A sense of empowerment can feed your soul. Whenever owning your progress, you feel better and do better.

A Post-it note

These can be given many purposes. Words of affirmation could go over by your mirror. A reminder to each fruit can go over by your kitchen counter. Before you leave, near your door can be the wallet, keys, phone, and mask checklist. Remind yourself to practise gratitude every morning and night over by your night lamp. This allows your environment to be set up for you to thrive.
