the biggest thing that keeps me going is remembering the only person I'm competing with is me from yesterday.

thanks for this sentence. I've been struggling at the gym the past two weeks and have been trying to think of ways to motivate myself more, and this did it for me

The sentence of this idea I use is:

"You're not in a race with others, only the previous version of yourself."

Another thing that may help, I stole this from Terry Crews, the only goal each day at the gym is to walk in the door. After that, you're done, no bullying, no critiquing your workout or progress. You went. You won.

Do what you can when you can. And when you can't, that's okay. You still went, the routine is the key.
