Happy international women’sDay.On this day I’m thankful to those who have come before us and struggled in this country to provide us the liberty to do what we want and be who we choose. It’s not everywhere in the world I could have dressed up (or down rather) and celebrated life with the Asian Marching Boys and the greater community last week at Sydney’s Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.I’m also thankful, not only, that I have the privilege of helping other women to live a better quality of life, lean into their strengths and be more empowered with their health and their bodies, but to also have amazing family, friends, peers and colleagues who support me in doing so.Aside from a week of crazy fear-driven media reports, and some questionably bad behaviour, we’re lucky to live in Australia and have the rights we do, to live as we please, that many take for granted. Don’t let fear, ignorance and bitterness blind you. Have a great IWD and be excellent to each other!
Making Change
Be brave.Heading back into the gym this week may seem a little daunting.You may not look the same physically as you used to.You may not feel the same mentally as you used to.You may not move as well as you used to.Be humble.You may not be able to lift as much as you used to.Or push as hard. Be better.It’s better to start now while the safety measures are strict and the gyms are capped so they’re quiet. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll reap the benefits.Have patience, leave your expectations at the door and enjoy training again in the open space with equipment you may not have used in months.Work on establishing those healthy routines and habits once more. Consistency is the key to making long term change. Above all be proud of yourself, it’s been a tough year and you are doing this for you. Don’t forget that and let your fears and anxieties stop you from working on the new improved you!#bebrave #behumble #bebetter #workout #gym #fitness #health #selfimprovement #strong #justlift #train #work #strength #selfcare #selfesteem #mentalhealth #prestonpt #southmelbournept #melbournept #wereback #strongerthanyouthink
