It’s complicated. …And often confusing. No I’m not talking about a Facebook relationship status! I’m talking about relationship to self in this modern world. As people we’ve already merged so much with the new way, with the artificial, with the digitally facilitated friendships, with the editorially curated lives on social media we aspire to, and the many ways we can enhance what we look like in real life to match it.I’m not here to criticise anyone for that, I’d be lying to say were not all a part of it, but what about the inside, and the old ways? What about basic human necessities.We increasingly disconnect from the relationship we have with ourselves and others in real life. We ignore our instincts, our intuition, we don’t listen to our body, instead we look to the external for how we should think, feel, look and act. We’re so preoccupied with the next big thing, the superficial, we neglect the internal and we lack the genuine human connection we crave as a species.What we feed our mind matters. What we feed our body matters. What we do or don’t do with our physical form matters. Time spent with real people, not facilitated by technology, matters.A healthy mind and body is a product of the above. So if you want to feel happier, more energetic, more confident, then reconnect with the basics. Surround yourself with positive uplifting experiences that make you appreciate life. Nourish your body with real food, sleep and exercise. Nourish your brain with knowledge, empowering thoughts and compassion. Nourish you heart with authentic, real life human connection, and quality time with the ones you love.If you’re struggling heading into the new week, get back to basics, pick one of the above and run with it.️ See what you’ve really been missing out on.
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
