Take aim

If you were in a room with no windows, no lights, and no one watching how would you perform your WOD?
Chest to deck on burpees?
Squat your hips below your knees?
Chest to bar?

The real question here is why are you working so hard?  If you haven't answered it for yourself yet it might be time to go stare into the mirror.
Going through the motions without having an internal pulse, or driving purpose, leaves the athlete stagnant and unsatisfied with their efforts.
If you are driven purely by aesthetics, you will be sorely disappointed at how long it takes to reap rewards.
If, contrarily, you are in it for the purpose of facing headlong that thing which you most loathe, then you will be delighted in the fact that every day you spend in the pursuit of something that you fear there is an equal remuneration for those efforts that manifests as confidence, and the ability to persevere in and out of the gym.  There's no price for earned pride.
Find your real target (health, quality of life, confidence to pursue a career or lifestyle) and the target will take focus.
Even in a room with no windows, no lights, and no one watching.
