I have web suffering from migraines for a few months now. I have never really experienced one until this year, but it almost feels like the sun is violating my eye sockets. I don't do well with that kind of pain. I noticed that I was struggling through certain workouts because I had a hard time breathing properly. I tend to hold my breath and I thought that is what was casing the migraines.
Now where is the motivation to push yourself if it is going to make you suffer through a pain that is difficult to look past. Fact is fact... I work at a call center. I am looking at a computer and talking on the phone from 8 - 12 hours a day/6 days a week. This has definitely left me in a slump in terms of my workouts. I had to leave spin one night because it felt like a rave was going on in my head.
I wish I could get some feedback on what pushes other people to work past the pain. How do you block it out entirely and not let the pain win?
sometimes our body's way of saying "slow the fuck down" is to be in pain...
ReplyDeleteif it's a little bit of pain, i normally just think of the finish line. i always repeat "begin with the end in mind" over and over in my head. if it's really bad, though, i just won't do it. it's not giving up... it's just being real with yourself.
