Honesty – an excerpt from my conversation with Misbah Haque on the Airborne Mind Show. We discussed a time in my life that I faced a challenge and through honesty with myself I was guided to my answers. On being injured and fighting to stay in the CrossFit Games in 2015 prior to choosing to not participate.
“Why did I get into this in the first place? What did I start training for? Before I could race against other people in exercising, why did I train? I trained because I love to feel good. I wanted to feel some vitality. I wanted to feel energy. I wanted to be confident when I left the gym. I wanted my training to propel me in other areas of my life. Yet here I was trying to battle against something that was actually making me feel worse. So there was a moment of clarity kind of. It was like, well this isn’t supposed to happen right now. This isn’t worth it. And I don’t care what the prize is at the end. I don’t care what podiums or what notoriety comes from making it to regionals or the games. It doesn’t matter right now because I’m not fulfilled each day leaving the gym and I don’t actually feel good doing the work. So that was it. I had to come back to honesty and really get clear on what really matters to me.”
