If You Didn't Hear Me The First Time... SHOW UP

I don't know what it is today...

I just finished dragging myself through a nutrition lecture and could dive into bed and wake up tomorrow to be honest.

I'm off to the gym soon and could most definitely go for an unplanned rest day.

It could be the effects of needing more sleep, the calorie deficit I'm in, the constant work on the laptop since 6am or the fact that I'm sick of hearing bad news because of this worldwide pandemic that we're in the middle of.

The scary thing is... it could just be the beginning.

Deliveries are delayed.

Jobs are being cut.

Gyms are shutting down.

Weddings are being postponed.

Holidays are being forgotten and to be very, very honest with you the more I write this email the more I can see why today has felt like a drag.

No matter how focused I am, how positive I am and how much hope I hold for the future, there is a constant flood of opposition hitting me in many forms.

I feel like a dam holding back a fast flowing river.

I'm not particularly motivated but I'm here.

I'm not energised to train but I'll go.

I'm not really keen to stick to my calorie deficit but I will.

I don't feel like writing this email but I am.

There is always going to be an opposition in life in whatever you choose to pursue. It's showing that opposition that you're showing up no matter what and will do anything to overcome it.

And that doesn't have to look heroic.

It only needs to look like doing what you said you would do.

Show up.
