Mental Focus! Mental Strength

[EF9kid]

How can you establish that focus while dealing with a lot of negativity? How do bodybuilders get so spot on with the metal aspect of life?

Probably cause most of them havent been to war.

I use the words and actions of the men I respect and admire. Henry Rollins, Jocko, Goggins. It keeps me positive. It helps me tune out the toxic shit that plagues my success. This hangs in my home gym. It gives me motivation and reminds me that focus and discipline are paramount as I attempt to better myself. Stay Hard!

@John facts

I love the quote bro. Not gonna lie bro, sometimes I want to quit, especially now. I feel that I am going backwards, not gaining, no focusing. My mind is all over the place, my mental focus is not there, yet I contain the pain n pound the weights… This is more or less the connection with the body that I’m failing.

Honestly the gym is my meditation. It’s an hour or so where my brain runs on autopilot. I go in, the music comes on and everything on the other side of that door can go fuck off.

Dude I ducking feel you in that! My mid swings are wild lately out of no where. Had it under control for over a year and the depression just came out of no where and my shoulders hurting to bad to even lift at the moment. Finally see doctors wednesday… trying to find my focus again is hard. I was consistent all year without ever missing a single day

Bro I had miss/take a break last week.

 

[EF9kid]

Yet. Totally with you. But what happens after? Muscle growth/body mind connection. How does your mind after your body? When I enter the gym totally a different monkey bro.

It doesn’t last long before all the bullshit that was weighing me down comes back. If your referring to finding the motivation to go every day, that’s easy. I feel like I’m loosing ground by taking a day off. It’s a very slow process and every little bit counts IMO. That’s just me and my F-upped thought process.

Everyones different… And either way its hard. Jay cutler said… And whether or not its true idk but it sounds good… And i believe he wasnt dealing with any negativity just people. Anyways he said he just blocks everyone out and shuts his phone off just from normal conversation and im sure with negativity as well… Arnold Schwarzenegger missed his dads funeral on purpose… To maintain his goal… Negativity and women or definitely gain killers… Shit sucks bro i know… Dont know if i helped at all or not… But with these two examples it seems as they just block it out…
And they focus on self…much love…

 

[Ripgut]

B4 everyone jumps my shit cuz i know some of yall married… Not all women are gain killers… But the fact remains…

 

[JLee]

No worries here. I understand what you said.

 

[EF9kid]

Thanks for ALL the love. My wife is super supportive and the main reason I STAN. However, too much going on at the moment.

Drugs lots and lots of mind altering drugs. lol I put in my headphones and jam the fuqk out drown it out with music. Then tell em all to play hide and go fuqk yourself. We don’t negotiate with terrorists….

I focus my negative energy towards even darker negative thoughts, then take it all out on the weights. I had to go to some pretty dark corners in my past when I was still competing to get my mentality ready to handle 3x body weight squats and pulls so heavy I saw Jesus when the weight hit the floor. Use the negative energy for good, or the negative energy will eat you up inside

 

[Dirtnasty]

I just eventually murder people. That’s a joke but I usually just eventually trip and face the shit in my head some would Call them bad trips I see them as spiritual journeys that suck but are necessary

 

[EF9kid]

I will def try this bro. Thanks

Have you had labs drawn recently?

Sometimes a small break is needed to refocus and re engage
