Sharing your truth to start with is important, because if you don’t know your starting point, you can’t know where you are going to go, or appreciate how far you have come.
Communicating the good times along the way, as well as the hardships, is vital, because your progress will never go in a straight line.
I’m used to seeing people at the gym and online every day telling me about their life struggles, then their victories and they realise that life is not a piece of cake, you have to work for everything you get, and good things don’t come straight away, or everyone would achieve the amazing things that you are capable of.
These days people want things yesterday, but my job at the gym is to tell you it takes time and be realistic with you, but when the things you really want in life comes for you finally, you will appreciate it that much more and realise why everything that’s worth getting takes so much time, is so hard at times, and you will remember the times you nearly gave up, but you stuck with it through thick and thin and eventually you won that race-against yourself.
Shut off the outside “noise” when it threatens to overwhelm you, realise that the race is only against yourself, and battling to become a better version of yourself every day should be the only goal, because once you do that and get into that mindset, then ANYTHING becomes possible.
