Hi, I'm back. Now let me give this a proper response. The reason why I said short answer
female is because until you put those two quotes directly together, it didn't dawn on me that I hadn't specified what was being minimized.
- I am minimizing the thought that every goal that I set equates to me performing at maximal effort all the time until the goal is achieved
- I am minimizing the feeling that everything I notice could be better must be immediately responded to/corrected/made better
- I'm minimizing the feeling that the details are always just as important as the big picture
- Finally, I am minimizing the thought that every goal I set must have a finite best end result

No, not scared. I have no comfort zone in regards to weight-lifting. Its been new, interesting, and exciting to me.
The exhilaration I felt with pushing myself was in regards to being presented with a different environment than anticipated and adapting in a very positive manner. More a "damn, I did really well" versus a "I didn't believe I'd could/would push myself." During the squats I felt like a cheerleader. After the jackknifes, I felt like a coach.
