Sometimes it is difficult to have CONFIDENCE in life--especially the weight room.  I have struggled with this lately.  In preparation for the state weight meet that I am competing in, I have caught myself lacking CONFIDENCE more than once.  I compare myself to others a lot when I need to be focused on my personal goals.  I have figured out over the last couple workouts how much of a mental game working out it.  So much of what gets done depends on the mental toughness that you have.  Telling yourself that you can do it and having that CONFIDENCE plays a vital role in the success that you will have.  It is much easier said than done but having CONFIDENCE in yourself and exercising your mental toughness will contribute more than anything to your personal gains in the weightroom.  So as (WE) workout this coming week let’s (ALL) work on the CONFIDENCE that we have on the gym and becoming mentally tougher.

Blessings:

Confidence.  Confidence in life.  Confidence in faith. Confidence in the weightroom.  Confidence in relationships.  Confidence.

Ephesians 3:12 says, “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” Let us approach God with confidence this week. I pray that we can all be confident enough not to feel inferior to others but to know that we are good enough in God’s eyes.  Go about your confidence humbly though.  In James 4:10 it says,  “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”  So I pray for confidence within.  That I can be confident in life but remember that I am nothing without God so I need to stay humble in the process of improving my confidence.
