Control your Mind
"Mind over matter" may be a saying that's overused, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
We've seen it time and time again, our bodies are capable of much more than we believe. When you're getting to your last few reps in an exercise and feel like you can't move your arms, just try! I'd be willing to bet that if you really give it your best effort, you can get another rep or two.
Similarly, even if you're doing everything right exercise-wise but have poor nutritional habits, you probably won't do as well as you want. For example if you want to quit sugar, you're probably going to struggle right away. Your body won't feel great, because you're depriving it of something it has become accustomed to using for energy. You'll feel slow, sluggish, maybe some headaches, and you'll definitely have a lot of cravings. But, if you make it throught that initial rough patch staying mentally strong and avoiding that sugar, you'll come out far stronger. Your body will be fine, it can adjust to the loss of sugar. You just have to overcome your brain telling you to quit.
Once you have fought through mental adversity and gained control of your brain, staying away from the quick fixes and easy way out, the body will follow.
