Almost quit ngl 🫩

2025/7/3 Edited to

... Read moreEmbarking on a fitness journey is never easy, and it's common to feel overwhelmed at times. On Day 29 of my gym journey, I faced moments where the idea of quitting crossed my mind. However, taking a step back to wash my hands, both literally and metaphorically, reminded me of the importance of self-care in this process. Fitness isn't just about physical strength; it's about mental resilience too. Maintaining hygiene is crucial in a gym setting, especially during high-intensity workouts where sweat and bacteria can become a concern. The reminder to 'WASH YOUR HANDS' served as a metaphor for cleansing not only our hands but also our minds from negative thoughts. When motivation wanes, reflecting on our goals and the reasons why we started can reignite that initial spark. Engaging with communities through hashtags like #fitnessjourney and #viral can provide support from others who share similar challenges. Sharing our struggles and victories can help form connections that inspire perseverance. Remember, every day counts, and even when the going gets tough, it's essential to stay focused and committed to the journey ahead.

Dramatic, I know, but I was this 🤏🏾close! Burnout is so common nowadays, because I feel like we are all trying to do multiple things to find our way through life, our happiness all while trying to keep up with each other! It’s important that we take a step back and breathe when we can.

ways i’ve self sabotaged that almost ruined me
if i’m honest, i’m my own biggest enemy 🫠 which took me a while to realize, because self sabotage isn’t always obvious - ➡️ constantly learning more as an excuse to avoid starting is self sabotage. ➡️ perfectionism that delays progress is self sabotage. ➡️ cancelling plans you actually car
