Ruts Can Be Deep! Perseverance Will Always Overflow and Win!

What I mean by the title is exactly as it sounds. When dieting, running, working out, life, and everything else gets rough and you get in a rut. Hard work, determination, and the right mindset will always fill up and overflow that rut like it never even existed in the first place.

Persistence is key! Stay steadfast and stay on track and you will always come out with the win! 

I’ve been dieting and running for quite some time now. Around a year give or take. I have rough days, rough weeks, and even rough months just like everybody else. The ruts can be deep they can take a while to disappear but they will! When you finally get out of that rut you will feel like you’re on top of the world, like you have achieved something amazing! Because you have! You have just conquered yourself, a mental brick wall, you’re own mind! That mental brick wall in your mind is known to be even harder to get past than a physical brick wall! 

When you’re running or dieting and something tells you I can’t do this, I need more food, I need that sugar, I can’t run any farther, I can’t run any harder! Most of the time that is your mind telling you that! NOT YOUR BODY! When you think you can’t go anymore you are only at 40% of your bodies capability! The hardest part is just pushing through and breaking that mental wall! Each and every time you do that. When you break through that mental wall you have reached a new level of success! That alone makes it all worth it! 

I promise you this right now! It does get easier! All you have to do is put in the work! Get up every day! Work hard! Push yourself! And enjoy the process! If you do that you will succeed in everything you put your mind and hard work into! 

I hope this helps you get out of that rut you’re in and I hope it helps you get out of any ruts that you may ever get into! Stay Steady! Stay Strong!
