Let’s be real that we all go through them, are going through them, and will go through them again.
We all peer into the mirror every day, multiple times each day. But do we really “see” ourselves? Most of us maintain an outer façade—and this veneer is basically the kind of person we want people to see us as. Sometimes, this outer veneer of ours is so solidly fixed in place that we forget to self-reflect upon who we really are. And when we forget to do that, we leave no scope of self-improvement.

Then, at some point, you’ll have to stop, and ask yourself—has my workout gotten too easy for me? Every person who goes to the gym wants to see results. So, you’ll have to figure out if your current workout is still helping you move toward your goals—and if not, switch it up and intensify things. Here's what to ask yourself.
Mindset. It’s become somewhat of a buzzword. We say things like, “I wasn’t in the right mindset to do X,” or “I want to change my mindset,” but what do we really mean when we use the term? Based on the way we speak about mindset, apparently one’s mindset has a significant effect on outcomes in life. Precisely. Mindset is powerful.
Some of us wake up in the morning, ready to go for runs, hit the gym, or do an early morning exercise routine. For others, the afternoons are when we get in some physical activity.
