![PUSHING YOURSELF when you are physically and mentally capable = an opportunity to get stronger, better, faster. ✅
PUSHING YOURSELF when you are NOT physically or mentally capable = risk injury, burnout & long term consequences. ❎
HOW CAN YOU TELL when to push vs. when to recover?? ⬅️ That comes with experience, self awareness, self compassion and a strong mindset with clear goals. 🎯
You learn along the way... during the ups and downs of training and racing and life (if you're paying attention). 🤸🏽♀️
Simone Biles has pushed herself beyond the limits of all other gymnasts in history. She knows how to push herself.
And in a sport where injuries are very common - she knows when to rest and recover. 💕
She and all the other gymnasts are doing AMAZING but also potentially DANGEROUS things at the Olympics. They make it look easy, but they're pushing the boundaries of what a human body can do! 💯
She's the GOAT. And if she needs to take a step back for any reason - physical, mental or because she forgot her lucky chonies - I 1000% support her.
But, it's not for me or anyone else to decide anyway.
We're all in charge of ourselves - from Olympians to new runners.
YOU are responsible for learning when to work harder and when to rest.
LISTEN when your body is trying to tell you something.
Be clear on your short term & long term goals and what you're willing to sacrifice to achieve them.
Be clear on what you're NOT willing to sacrifice.
SUPPORT others as they define their goals and boundaries so we normalize taking care of ourselves.
Take care. 💙
