A “nudge” might be all we need to help push the boulder in our way to the side.

That happened to me during a CrossFit workout recently. 

I had taken off several days and could feel that I hadn’t fully gotten my endurance back. This workout was exhausting for me. 

With the time cap a few minutes away, I didn’t think I’d finish. I had hit a mental blockade and resigned myself to the fact that it was okay to slow down and coast into the finish. 

And then one of my fellow peers stepped in who had already finished.
