This may seem kind of nerdy, but hey, this is nerd fitness so what the heck. I myself am not a big fan of superheroes (sorry) so when I read about these things like “be like Captain Americaâ€, although I understand, it’s not really my thing. So I was struggling with the notion of channeling a ‘super’ version of myself in order to get hyped. I realized that maybe it wasn’t my way of doing things. I felt like didn’t have any powers, any abilities, I was just a simple girl, but I could feel the potential. What I needed was someone who believed in me and could tap into that potential and help me become my awesome self. What I needed was a mentor. Now, maybe I shouldn’t have used Yoda in the title, because what I’m a really huge fan of is, not Star Wars, but Game of Thrones. Seriously I love that show. One of my favorite characters is Jorah Mormont, who, in all fairness is not exactly the most awesome warrior in the show. But he is a great advisor. So… I decided to imagine he was training me. Like whenever I’m working out I imagine he’s there trying to turn me into a soldier who can fight in the intense fights of Westeros and who can overcome any obstacle, someone who is trustworthy and loyal, maybe enough to be in the personal queen’s guard of Daenerys. It’s helped me so much. Having and awesome personal trainer has motivated me way more. I don’t know if this could help anyone out there, but to me it’s been wonderful. Now I feel this sort of pressure to not let him down and it keeps me going. Sorry for the long post, but I was so happy with the results I thought I’d share it. Maybe what someone out there needs is a mentor
