I know this may sound corny but when I hit a wall with training or diet, I sit down and write. Sometimes I am able to get the reason out of my head without sitting here psychoanalyzing it in my head. Some how, putting things down on paper and getting it out of my head allows me to find the answer. I don’t hold back and I don’t think about what I’m writing. I just write. I let the pen do all the work.
This actually applies to the walls I’ve hit in life too. Recently, back in October, I lost my grandma on Oct 22 and then my dad the next morning less than 12 hours later on Oct 23, ended a horrible relationship on Oct 28, fell into a rut of depression, then my grandpa passed away Dec 23 and then on New Year’s Eve my dog got out of the yard and was hit by a car- he was scared from all the fireworks. Needless to say, I was quite depressed and my outlet at the time was writing. I filled two separate three subject notebooks full of journaling. Coupled with meditation, this is an extremely powerful tool for me.
I agree with what’s been said about taking a couple days off to recoup maybe eat some food you’re not supposed to and feel guilty about it later. I’ve noticed that after dieting for a while, my stomach has gotten smaller and I can’t stomach those foods not on my diet. I end up regretting it and then realize I’m not missing out on anything and these foods will be here for when I “can” eat whatever I want on a cheat meal.
When I hit a place in my diet where I want to cheat, I apply the same ideology that I do when it comes to staying away from drugs. I tell myself, “not today but maybe tomorrow.” I know that sounds odd but it works for me. Usually by the next day I don’t even have that desire to cheat or use.
Alright! I’m done! Hope this helps someone!
