You’re tougher than you think but even the toughest need tenderness. So if you want to train, remember to rest well, and keep growing! Thanks for reading!

So here is my advice: Treat yourself like someone you truly love. Or think of yourself like a cactus: tough, resilient, but still needing care. Even the hardiest plant needs water and sunlight. Check in on yourself. Give yourself what you need.

But if you pace yourself staying just close enough to your limits while rewarding yourself with rest it stops hurting, Eventually it can even feel… fun.

But here’s the catch: The training for both numbness and adaptation looks the same at first. The real difference is in the dosage of struggle and the rest afterward. If you push yourself to the limit nonstop, without breaks, you’ll eventually break.

Numbness means shrugging it off, pretending it doesn’t matter even when it does. Adaptation means acknowledging the problem and finding a way to handle it effectively, "You exist, and I know how to deal with you.". That realization makes me feel strong even if just a little bit.

Some might say that this just makes you numb that ignoring your problems isn’t healthy. And they’re right… to an extent. But my training isn’t about numbness; it’s about adaptation. The difference lies in my mindset afterward.

Honestly I don’t want to run away from things anymore, but I’m also too scared to face them head-on most of the times. So instead, I hold my ground against them, close enough to feel its weight but not being reckless.

So if someone like me can achieve something just by trying again and again, I truly believe you can too. And if you don’t believe in yourself yet, then believe in the me that believes in you!

That’s why I hold onto the belief that I can be as good as anyone, or even a little better, with enough effort. Even if I’m called "the skill issue." I know progress is possible through persistence, always in small steps.

I’ve never been known for quick reasoning or natural talent in any skill. For me, starting something has almost always been difficult, and it’s taken dozens or even hundreds of tries just to reach an "okay" level.

My first thought when I hear this is: "Isn’t it normal to be bad in the start?"
