Mental Blocks

I have been going to crossfit for a year and a half. I was NOT the althletic kid. I was the chubby kid that always got picked last and was trying to keep up. I tried really hard and was always ok in sports, but did not excel by any means. Crossfit broke down that wall for me although at the same time I think I set limitations on myself...I'm ok doing pushups on my knees and not my toes, it's ok that I can't do a pullup, it's ok that I can't jump on the box - I'll just do step ups...well today I say...SCREW YOU SELF..I AM GOING TO JUMP ON THAT BOX!!! Well actually my coach told me I was going to do it, and my response was "Do you wanna see me bail?" So we set up a stack of plates for me to jump on, and I jumped on them when they were the same height as the box. So we went over to the box and I couldn't do it. The coach was very patient and explained how I was going to get on there..I tried..I stopped myself..tried again..stopped myself....back to the stack of plates, he added one more and said do it..and I did..it was higher than the box. So I went back to the box and I just did it! And again! And again! Screw you box..making me think I couldn't jump on you for the last 18months...but it wasn't the box..it was me. I am the one that thought I couldn't do it. I set that on myself. Makes me wonder what other limitations I have set. For some reason, jumping on that box today was like jumping into a new world of possibilities...the girl that couldn't catch up, or jump on the box is no more. Instead of looking at it from the bottom up thinking "I can't" I am now looking at it from the top thinking "What can I do next"?
