today i'm going to be talking about something i saw a while ago while scrolling.
i saw this quote that says something along the lines of, "10 minutes of discomfort or stay uncomfortable for the rest of the day". and honestly, it's really been getting me through the hard days.
so as you probably know, i'm testing for my 2nd degree black belt in the beginning of may (which is both exciting and stressful) and for a portion of the exam, we have to run 2 miles in a certain amount of time.
you might also know that i got shin splints at the beginning of this school year, which has been preventing me from running as well. now, my shins are doing much better and so i've started to run with my brother (who is also testing for 2nd degree) in the mornings.
for the longest time i've hated running. i'm not kidding. at the start of 8th grade, my mom asked how i'm going to introduce myself in my classes and i said, "hi! i'm maia and i hate running." so because of this, running is very difficult for me, especially because i don't wanna re-injure myself. but that's not the point.
as i run, i get to a point where i'm telling myself i can't do it anymore but i know that i can. i found that telling myself to stay uncomfortable just a little longer will make me more comfortable in the long run.
so yeah, that's the current mentality and i just wanted to share in case you wanna get on the summer grind because it's not too late!! thanks for reading and i'll catch you on the next one!!
don't wish for it, work for it.
