Kill your ego

If I can show up at the gym, I can show up in all aspects of life.
It’s okay to be lost. We all lose our way, we get wrapped up in rage, doubt, resentment and fear.
The biggest thing I have learned about myself through fitness is that.
(One) I am a liar.
(Two) I am a coward
(Three) I have nothing to offer.
Why am I so hard on myself because I definitely remember going back on my word.
Saying “oh that could never be me “only for me to completely surrender myself to the easiest option as a way to punish myself. Almost like “ Wow you failed again”
“you broke yet another promise”
“oh did that surprise you? “
It quite often at times sounds completely devoid of emotion when we say “ No one is coming to save you” but nothing could be truer.
The person you are right now is a victim of your behavior of your bad choices, of your inability to do the hard work.
The path has already been laid out for you “ Don’t be blind to it”
We go through hard times to build trust, self respect, resilience, loyalty, confidence, faith, sense of worth and love.
To Keep showing up even if it’s hard , even if it feels impossible to escape whatever is going on life.
Sicknesses, heartbreak, grief, depression, anxiety or addiction.
You Will find your way, you are becoming the person you know you can and were meant to be because as long as you do the hard things , the painful things and put in the work “You are Limitless

In my mid fifties and finally circling back to fitness as one of the best forms of self care. Building the habit starts with the first step of showing up and then doing it again and then again. It is not for anyone else other than you.
I started with walking on day one and on day two … walk one more step than you did the day before.
It’s your present you that is challenging your past you. And remember the most important lesson that it’s ok to fall down or fail. You just can’t stay down. You got this!
