"The mind gives up long before the body ever will"

I have found this quote to be very true on many occasions. It is most obvious when I am out on a run. While I'm running, I feel my body slowing down, telling me to stop or to take it easy. Yet, I know that I have run harder in the past so it doesn't make sense that I should be tired already. This is simply my own mind attempting to convince me that something is impossible even though my body has already shown me that it is possible.

I think we make our greatest improvements when we push past this mental blockade and force ourselves to keep going. I think many of us suffer from this problem and it can be a difficult one to overcome continuously. Do your best to overcome this thinking; push past the barriers that you know can be broken. If you find that you are telling yourself that you can't get something done, do yourself a favor and do it anyways.

What other situations do you all find are the most difficult to overcome mentally?
