This summer at CrossFit East Rocks has been fantastic - New Timetable, Goals Meetings, Kids’ Sessions, and buzzing WoDs - all set in one of the world’s most beautiful boxes. Aren’t we lucky?! We have made new friends, gotten stronger and fitter, and had a blast.
This week and next, goals programmes are being sent out and made available at the box for those we have met with throughout the summer (if we haven’t met with you - get in touch! We want to help you thrive and get the most out of your time at the box!).
I don’t know about you all, but I feel like life has picked up and gotten super busy now that we’re back into school mode, work life, etc. This is where the rubber meets the road with those goals of yours...it’s so easy to get busy and these things take the back seat.
Sometimes with goals, you see the end point of where you’d like to be and what you want to accomplish and it can be quite daunting and overwhelming…”how the heck am I going to get there when I’m here right now?!”. That’s where your big goals need to be broken down into smaller steps and “mini goals”.
With your programmes, as coaches, we’ve tried to break down your goals into smaller steps that, with persistence, you’ll see growth and progress little by little over time, leading you to hit the target of your overall goals.
I’d encourage you to look at it as “one day at a time” - what can you do today to make progress moving forward? Every little step forward adds up to the greater distance you are wanting to go.
You are made for bigger things and you are your body can do a whole lot more than your mind thinks you can - keep pushing forward...your mind will catch up and you’ll surprise yourself!
I love how everything we do at the box directly relates to the bigger picture of our lives. The things we do at the box, through physical and mental measures, strengthen who we are as people and strengthen our resolve and character.
So, here we are with these goals being direct reflections of pushing forward in our lives. Work, family and life in general can be overwhelming at times. We see where we’d like to be and we’re not there yet...
One day at a time, step by step, keep moving forward knowing that you are making progress even when it doesn’t feel like it - just keep going. You’re not alone and you have a huge community of people cheering you on and and wanting to see you thrive. Let’s do this - together. See you at the box!
