Embracing the Power of "Get": A Mindset Shift for Life

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the routine tasks and responsibilities we face. Yet, the transformation of a single word—"get"—can completely alter our mindset and approach to not only workouts but all aspects of life.
Understanding the Privilege
Let's take a closer look at CrossFit Hero workouts. These workouts are designed to honor members of the armed forces who gave their lives for our freedom. While they present a formidable physical challenge, they are more than just tests of endurance. They serve as potent reminders of the incredible privilege we have to live freely, thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
In these moments, we realize that no one is forcing us to work out. We are privileged to have the choice to move our bodies, to challenge ourselves, and to grow. It's a privilege we should embrace wholeheartedly.
From "Have to" to "Get to"
The next time you find yourself dreading an activity, consider this: You don't have to do it—you get to do it. This subtle shift in mindset can change your perspective on any task, even those we might not traditionally enjoy.
Take the paperwork that comes with being a chiropractor, for example. Like many, I've never been a fan of it. Yet, thanks to a wise mentor, Dr. Walters, I've learned to view it as an essential part of my passion for providing chiropractic care. After all, no paperwork means no clients, and without clients, I can't do what I love.
Embrace Every Part of Your Journey
I encourage you to embrace every part of your journey, recognizing it as a privilege. Whether it's the workout you initially dread, the paperwork you have to complete, or any other task, remember that each is a crucial part of your path.
When you change the narrative from "have to" to "get to," the journey becomes more fulfilling and rewarding. It's not just about completing tasks; it's about recognizing and valuing the opportunity to grow and live fully.
In the end, this mindset shift is about gratitude and perspective. It’s about seeing life’s challenges and routines as opportunities rather than obligations. When we embrace this change, we not only enhance our personal growth but also find joy in the journey itself.
Let's move forward with this powerful mindset shift, embracing each opportunity with open arms and a grateful heart.
