I have wanted to take CrossFit for over a year. I have toured a bunch of places that offer it and I even joined up once. I quit before the class even started though. Every time I decided to try it, my negative self-talk has convinced me otherwise. Im too old. Im too out of shape. Im not strong enough. My seven-year-old overheard me saying that I was nervous about taking CrossFit. He asked me why. I said I was nervous I wouldnt be able to perform the exercises correctly. He said, Mama, you wont know until you try. Sensing the opportunity to allow him to coach me, I decided to take the conversation further. I said to him, But what if theres something I cant do? He replied in the softest voice and said, You can ask a friend to help you. So then I asked, But Baby, what if I get afraid? He said, Thats when you go get the teacher, Mama. I took my first CrossFit class and I lived to tell about it. My Pumpkin said that hes proud of me. Im pretty darn proud of him too.
