Happy Tuesday, Limitless Family! We’re going to talk about the force of average and how it comes into
our life very slowly, creeping in.
Last week was one of those. I’m going to be completely honest. I have no idea why. I consulted with one
of my partners and he talks about when you have such high momentum and it comes to an abrupt stop,
there’s a sense of not owning up to your true potential.
I hold myself to a very high standard as all of us do in this group. When we don’t measure up, where we
feel we should, then we need to take a step back. For me, it’s understanding and evaluating the last
week by looking at key factors in my life. What could I have done better? Where could I have used my
time more efficiently? What changed in the last week?
As I remember this journey is not meant to be easy and it truly pushes you to be uncomfortable to grow,
understand that every setback is meant for a bigger and stronger comeback and that was shown
tonight.
After doing some research I looked at my Whoop stats and I noticed a trend. My sleep and recovery
were way below normal while my strain was at an all time high. See, you can only push your body so
much before it’ll push back hard. You’ll see that the last two days of recovery were at an all time low as
sleep is reflecting the same. I was at a 44% recovery and my HRV was at a 15.
This weekend will be spent doing a couple things to rewire the mind and body. Sleeping in and giving the
body rest needs to recover, two refeeds both today and tomorrow, preparing for the next 12 weeks of
heavy lifting.
Don’t sleep on recovery. It’s by far one of the most overlooked components of your body. And if you feel
like you’re in a slump. If you feel like you’re not moving forward, I want you to take a look back. See
what changed in your last week. And if there’s anything that you did notice, things that could have taken
a small different route in your life, or the way that your thoughts, the way that you’re thinking, the way
that you looked at a situation. Those small things matter.
But I want you to know, this all comes at us at different levels. We don’t have a perfect life. You will
never have a perfect life. But I promise you, as you overcome the force of average, you will continue
pushing forward every single day and you will be successful.
