I spent a few years training in boxing, doing everything from sparring to competing. Then I took a few years off...I always had to dig deep to go miles away to spar and train but I always got through it. Some days I dreaded going to the gym but always went. So I decided to start back up again recently and joined a new boxing gym...But now all of a sudden this strange despair comes over me when its time to go to the gym. Its like it puts me in this weird, blue mood. I still fight through it and go to the gym and do what I have to, but its getting a bit overwheliming. Its almost like I hate boxing now...BUT when I'm away from boxing, I miss it and want to do it. The hell kind of strange quandary is this??
I undoubtedly have a fighter's spirit and it is always calling me. But it seems like I have such an internal war going on that its like I'm fighting 2 battles, one inside my mind and one in the ring. Which makes it twice as hard.
Anyone go through anything like this? Any suggestions on how to work through it? I don't wanna give up the sport because it has helped me in alot of ways...But I can say in simple terms that I hate to box. But I also love it. As little sense as that makes, it is the truth.
