Let's Keep it REAL
I'll just keep it 100 with you, I hate my body.
.
Or at least I used to.
.
Growing up in the fitness community, you're constantly hearing things like "some people just have good muscle connection" or some people's biology just sets them up to be an incredible athlete."
.
You hear those things when you have none of those things.
.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
.
I hated how my ribs pushed my abdomen WAY further than my chest. I hated how all the manual labor I did over the years left me with massive traps, but not much else.
.
I hated the crevice in my chest and the bows in my legs.
.
It felt like I was handed the worst anatomical hand that you could get in life.
.
And I constantly told myself this story.
.
I felt like shit about myself, I accepted said shit about myself, I saw evidence of said shit about myself, and the cycle kept repeating.
.
It wasn't until I really discovered the depth of the concepts of self talk that I was able to flip the whole script.
.
I have a fully functional body.... I have the capacity to go into the gym... The capacity to eat healthy food and in abundance... The capacity to build muscle and grow.
.
Most of us exist in this space of externalizing control. We're waiting for the opportunity. We're waiting until we're ready. We're WAITING for fulfillment and WAITING for happiness.
.
Hit me with where I can find those schedules, because so far I haven't.
.
What did I find? The realization that you decide when shit happens. And until you DECIDE, it doesn't and will not ever happen.
.
Intention. Belief. Allowance.
.
Change your perspective, and it's yours.
