Giving Up is Never An Option

We all have hard stuff in life, frustrations, and days we just want to keep our heads tucked under the pillow.  The thing about life and the journey is navigating through everything with our best healthy responses, attitudes, and choices.  I am not immune to feeling the tough in life and even in my workouts.  There are days I want a trainer to kick my butt and push me when I struggle with lack of motivation.  Not every day goes as I had planned and nutrition can also take a hit.  Some days, I am just tired, burned and do have to take a step back and  away from the gym.  All that is OK and in my opinion, normal.  This afternoon, I chose to take an Epsom salt bath...there ya go!

 Life is not challenge free and success comes from how we handle the discomfort.  Building muscle is an uncomfortable process for example, but I push through to achieve a positive result.  Goals are achieved through planning and working.  I have put in years of hard work to get the results I wear in the form of muscle.  Tired or not, giving up is never an option.  As long as I give my best for me, no matter what that looks like, it is good enough.  Today, my best came through taking an Epsom salt bath and right now my sore muscles are saying ... thank you.
