Question, are you truly happy with you?!
No, i'm not just talking about your looks,
im talking about, work , training, how you look, how you feel, your mind set, your partner or maybe single and looking for the right person?
Do you wake up each day with the feeling of fulfilment?
The biggest misconception we have with the fitness industry is that the high profile athletes on social media are getting where they are by doing this or taking that....what you may not know is that yes they get paid to say it....shocking i know! but we see it all the time but yet we judge our self on the way they look and the idea is " you want to take this if you want to look like me " can you look like them?
sure - maybe train a little harder , eat a little cleaner , take a few selfies and photo shop them to give you a better tan..or look bigger...or smaller .....take some gear ( steroids ) to get that little extra muscle mass or lean out..you can look like them 100% and if that's the look you want then go for it, but do it for you! not cause that's what the world expects
But lets get back to you...what aren't you happy with and why must we compare ourselves to look a certain way? what's wrong with how you look now?
its these images we see on social media that may make us feel this way and make us think " If i looked like that i'd get that girl" or " if i trainer hard like that and post stuff i'll drive that car "
........yeahhh nahh you wont!
But thats ok....cause there is NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU! the image of you is perfect and you shouldn't think anything different!
BUT , if your a little over weight or underweight ( yes its a thing ) then change it. clean up the diet , start training , find yourself a trainer who you feel comfortable with and get started. It might take you a few trainers to find the one you like but who cares..its all about you and what makes you happy!
we are caught up in the image of self and how society says we" should" look rather than how i want to look , not even look..the things we do! clubbing, partying , taking drugs is ok...but that guy who trains on a Saturday night is a freak and a looser...why? have you ever thought that the feeling you get from going out he or she gets from training?
what about the other way around? the guy or girl in the gym training thinks the peopple who head out are strange cause they want to go out , get drunk and wake up feeling like shit the next day....now what if both parties thought..."Who really gives a shit?" point being...are you / they really happy??
Whats sad is i see these fitness coaches / Personal trainers or fit people in general laughing or mocking that fat guy or girl on the treadmill, the skinny guy on the bench press pushing out 10kg's and hitting struggle street! these people are here for the same reasons as you..they want to get a little fitter and stronger. work on them and make themselves happy! so rather than being a dick...help, offer a spot if they need it ( dont do it in a rude way either idiot ) give that overweight person on the treadmill a nod and a look of " good job champion, keep that shit up, your doing well"
lets cut this judging bullshit out and start just accepting people for who they are and what they do!
lets not make people feel like they aren't good enough to become what they truly are happy being and doing!
if your happy going to the gym twice a week THEN DO THAT
if your happy training hard during the week then partying on the weekend THEN DO THAT
if you want to shave half your head and get a neck tattoo THEN DO THAT
you have one life and one life only...live it how you want to live it and dont let anyone tell you that the image of yourself is wrong!
" All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low "
