If you’re bored, you need to build something
You need goals
Short term & long term things to work for
Things that are meaningful to you
Because when you’re building something…
The repetition, the consistency, the mundane, the monotony won’t feel so boring
You’ll have clear direction
You’ll be focused
You won’t be so easily distracted by what everyone else is doing
And you won’t be totally thrown off by a bad day or a low mood or a set back
I remember when I used to train at commercial gyms, people would comment on how repetitive I was. “Aren’t you bored of doing that over & over again?”
But I’m not bored.
Because I’m building something 👑

Reflection questions to help you play the long game:
Do you like how you train? Do you enjoy what you’re doing & what you’re building? This is more important than anything else.
What are you good at? Figure that out.
These are your strengths. Play to them.
Stay in your own lane. Can you stay focused? Can you see what someone else is doing and know whether this applies to you or not?
Can you have a bad day or a bad mood and still trust the process? Can you still trust yourself?

Right now I’m in my head a lot with my lifts. I feel slow, not strong, off. Both body & mind.
I’ve been through this many times in my training career. And I always am reminded that I never need to make any big changes to my training to get myself back in the game. I just need to take a slightly new approach for a shorter period of time.
Instead of PRs or outperforming any past performance, I just work under numbers & make this time about my technique, rebuilding my confidence with the barbell, and getting my love for training back.
I usually like to do this for anywhere from 4-8 weeks.
Every long game/relatively serious lifter goes through this at some point.
We have to to learn how to manage our minds
Embrace our ebbs & flows
And be able to pull ourselves out of “funks” or periods of low motivation
We gotta learn to always keep going 👑
