I’ll go first. I started Crossfit because I wanted abs. That’s it. I always had a layer of walrus skin around my waist and thought this would shed it. Then I become more interested in the concepts and methodology as it became a daily ritual in my life. Slowly interest turned into self curiosity. Interest is always the buy in. But self curiosity, turning curiosity inward, is where the traction is.
I became very curious about my physical limits, how far I could push myself before I had to stop. About my fears, if I could dissolve them and if so, how that would transfer outside the box. About my inner critic and how much I listen to him screaming through that a giant megaphone. About energy, attitude, breathing, and comparing, and how all that plays our in performance but also life. Recently with my insomnia, if can Wod in a healthy way with three hours of sleep and if my body could adjust to those circumstances. Then what else is possible? There is tremendous power in curiosity. It can transform your thinking if you keep asking yourself the right questions. And how you think will reflect your performance.
Why do I Crossfit? To rewire my thinking. To crush false beliefs. To know what it feels like to build something. To wear a cape. To lean into my fears and position myself toward my potential. Crossfit is not just a workout. It can be one of the most powerful therapeutic tools you can have.
With the right mindset.
