So 7 days later - loving life! Feel so much better in every way. Found out a lot about my anxieties with the gym. Firstly that I was anxious about being watched - turns out I love it and I'm quite full of myself, and stare at other people a LOT! oops 🙃 Trained hard - too hard! - did myself an injury which put me out of action for a few days and this really bummed me out. But I discovered the importance of rest and recovery, found my appetite and a proper training regime! I just have to remember to train to my current strength and not pretend I am Dwayne Johnson no matter how excited I am 🙏🏿 Although I have gained a whole centimetre of muscle around my thighs! Back at it today! 6 month regime on the go, sunshine and early mornings, blessed and proud ☀️💛

It’s the one thing we try to avoid but really that is your level up Lean into your pain. Most people run from it. Distract. Numb it. Pretend everything’s “fine.” But nothing changes there. Sometimes you need to get pissed off. Frustrated. Fed up with where you’re at. Because that’s where change actually starts. The most dangerous place you can live? That middle ground where life is just… okay. Not bad enough to force action. Not good enough to feel fulfilled. So you sit there. Stuck. Comfortable… but quietly disappointed. Pain is a signal. It’s telling you: 👉 This isn’t it 👉 You’re capable of more 👉 Move Use it. Channel it into training harder. Thinking sharper. Acting with intent. Don’t waste it. Because if you don’t lean into it… you’ll stay exactly where you are.

It's small progress but I'm feeling well proud of myself today! Stuck to my new routine and went to the gym again this morning despite awful sleep and a very cold day, found a friend to go with and we did a class (my first EVER). Now I know the full layout of my gym, have met the PTs and staff and am comfortable to approach them for help and advice (I have never been brave enough to even look up from my knees before) and I stayed on long enough after my friend left to discover what time of the morning is least busy and therefore most comfortable for my anxiety to handle, yay! So grateful to this group for the push 🙏🏿✨️

@Nathan Rajah @Filip Gregov It's Monday morning. 7am. I promised!
