Improving your mental well being through Boxing.

There's a lot that goes on in your everyday life that can cause mental fatigue and frustration.

Don't you agree?

Tried using a crutch to alleviate those problems? I know I did. Then, Boxing came into my life.

Day by day I continued to improve and I gained a true sense of accomplishment, but don't get me wrong, I still faced huge hurdles in this sport. But deep down in my soul I knew that my true self still laid dormant.

How could I ever find the true meaning of my purpose?

The main question that kept me showing up day after day to the Boxing gym.

I honestly didn't know how I was going to find these answers, but channeling my frustrations through the movements, sparring, workouts, brought clarity with each training session I suffered through.

Day by day I was given a meaning to my chaotic life i created.

This sport gave me purpose for this world.

I was finally someone.

I had value, I had reason, I had goals that when i achieved, I felt fulfilled.

There it laid right in front of me this whole time.

My mind was never set on a certain goal, and that is why I never had a healthy mental state.

Yes, this sport is cruel and brutal, but what could be your final outcome?

A sense of satisfaction in the sense that you came into the gym with a goal in mind, and you took on a challenge that you never placed yourself through to find out what the fuck you are really made of.

Placing yourself through physical hardship will strip away the useless fluff in your mind.

The things that only weigh you down will slowly shed away session after session.

You can also make peace with the monster that is within all of us by allowing it to let loose and play a bit in the gym without judgement.

Learn to not hide your monster.

Learn to live with it.

Just show it who is boss.

Keep punching away, good people.
