What’s your favourite body part?A simple question. One I was stumped by earlier this week, after easily reeling off what my least favourite body part was.Why was it so hard? Don’t get me wrong there’s parts of my body that I love, am proud of and have worked hard on but the contrast between the ease of answering the first question and my lack of an answer to the second unnerved me.So I ask you, what is your favourite body part? We spend so much time and energy focusing on the parts of our body AND, in fact, lives that we’re less than happy with. If we took a fraction of that time to appreciate the parts we are happy with, proud of, grateful for, the things we CAN do, then just maybe the parts we don’t like won’t preoccupy us so much. Who knows we might even like ourselves a little bit more? For the record, my favourite body part would be my brain, despite its flaws (and signs of ischemia) it keeps me questioning, learning, growing and finding new ways to appreciate the life it affords everyday.
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
