I have learned something very valuable recently. I have learned that no matter how much my muscles burn, or how tired I am, I can always do more. We are trained to stop when our muscles tell our brain that its over. But the reality is that our brain controls everything.
See, the problem is that too many people sell themselves short. They stop when their body tells them to instead pushing through. When the muscle sends a signal to the brain that its burning and in pain, the brain has the ability to tell the muscle to keep working.
Pain is an emotion, not a feeling. Therefore, pain is a mental pitfall and can be push aside. As soon as the first emotion of pain hits you, tell yourself to welcome it in and that it really doesn’t hurt. If you can push aside the emotion of pain for a few seconds, the emotion with subside and you can continue on.
There is always more in the tank, because the tank is your brain, not your body!
