Stop allowing yourself excuses for when things don't go your way!!!

On Saturday, I got to stand on the podium after finishing in second place. And yesterday I booked my trip to compete at the US Championships on June 26th.

While most will believe that happened due to physical capabilities, I know it is because of the mindset you have to have.

Here is why mindset matters....

I landed home in the ATX from a bachelor party in Vegas at Midnight the day of the race. As my WHOOP shows, I didn't get to bed until 12:46. 45 minutes after landing lol. (The perk of living close to the airport, something Erin and I intentionally do since we like to travel a lot).

That night she had to pick me up. And during this time, I openly told her that we weren't going to allow our lack of sleep to be an excuse. We were going to go into the race and compete as if we had the best sleep/rest ever.

Essentially we blocked out all limiting thoughts and excuses.

It worked!!!

Now I get to sit here and ask myself, "CJ where else in your life have you allowed excuses to dictate your outcomes?!?"

^^^

This is the question I want you to ask yourself.

Where have you let excuses dictate the outcomes of your life? Where can you take back control?

Ponder that.

p.s. today I am grateful I was able to watch the sunrise. It has been raining here in Austin a lot which isn't typical. So it was nice to see the sunrise from my porch again after missing it for awhile.
