Happy International Women’s Day. A day to celebrate and respect women from all walks of life and our achievements. I’m fortunate to be in a position to work with many strong, beautiful women. And I’m also constantly rewarded by having the opportunity to help women rediscover their forgotten strengths, not just the physical, also their inner strength.What I find, no matter how strong they are, no matter what insane obstacles and adversity they’ve overcome, the worst abuse, betrayal and the harshest of criticisms often comes from within. And this in turn makes them tolerate less than ideal treatment and behaviours.Strong, resilient women are, more often than not, their own worst enemies. (Just like many of their male counterparts who would’ve thought !). So while this day celebrates women and embracing sisterhood…do a sister a favour… take a moment to also celebrate all that YOU, yourself, have achieved… all that YOU yourself are capable of… And all the little quirks that make you unique! Not just your mum, your role models, your idols or some brilliant women in a foreign country you will probably never meet… YOU, that’s right YOU, are also worthy of the same level of respect and adoration you reserve for others, and YOU are also more than capable of achieving greatness! We can set a better example, a higher standard, if we avoid tearing ourselves or others down.Champion yourself! A little self love and compassion go a long way. 🥰#iwd2019
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
