It’s more than looking good and even feeling good. It’s about growth, discipline, integrity, purpose. And that doesn’t always feel comfortable… The way we choose to move our bodies can be so much more than the physical, and can pave the way for how we approach and experience life. It’s not always easy - in fact it usually isn’t but that’s the point. It’s a challenge, and that’s exactly what helps to propel us forward and reach our goals. Staying in the comfort zone is tempting, but where do you go from there? It’s a balance between being kind to yourself but also giving yourself a push. And remember you don’t need to be perfect! It’s all about falling, making mistakes, getting it wrong every now and again. That’s how we learn and improve. Setting various physical goals for myself throughout the years has ignited a determination and drive that I have absolutely been able to apply to other areas of my life too; running the London marathon; committing to a yoga practice; the discipline required with boxing. All have shaped me in unique ways, far beyond the physical. Calling it ‘exercise’ just doesn’t do it justice! This is about gaining greater self awareness and understanding the true authentic self by questioning the motive & intention behind certain practices. It might be insightful for you to take a moment to question your own intentions too - why do you lift weights, or choose the stairs instead of the escalator, or practice daily sunrise yoga, or attend weekly group fitness classes? Sometimes we do things for reasons we haven’t given ourselves time to acknowledge or given a second thought to, but shining a light on the ‘why’ can add a whole new element of purpose and intention to your practice. Move how you want to move. No one else has your body. Only you. And only you get to make these choices. 🦋🌞🙏」10月25日 21時45分
