On my way to the gym this morning, I was having one of those commutes that I was on autopilot because I was so deep in thought – don’t remember much about the drive.
And, in an ironic twist, this is what I realized…
The way we talk to ourselves matters.
A LOT.
Your inner voice is your training partner.
It can build you up or tear you down.
So, the trick is to not let it be soft.
While at the same time not letting it be cruel.
And if you’re like me, you’re harder on yourself than anybody.
But hopefully, you’re telling yourself that you’re not broken…you’re just building.
Getting fit.
Getting better at golf.
Getting better at anything…
It takes reps.
It takes the choices today that the future you will thank you for.
It takes courage to do the work when nobody is watching.
And THAT is the result of talking to yourself with strength and encouragement.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff
