2. Keeping focus on other areas of life – Family and friends.
3. Psychological elements like some tiredness, slight fatigue, headaches.
4. A feeling of flatness in workouts/training.
5. Physical limitations (niggles/injuries).
6. Locations.
How I work around these issues is dependent on me and my life context.
I would love to hear the different factors that make it difficult for you, how they effect you and how you try to/overcome them.
