The Tzone Natural Championship's are coming up. I was supposed to be competing in this show and it's really hitting home now that I'm officially not competing this year.
Competing takes up your whole world and you have to be 110% committed to it (yes, not 100% - MORE). My world was flipped upside down this year and prep slipped through my grasp. I couldn't give it what it deserves, to be my best.
I preach about being happy first, and then healthy because the two go hand and hand. You can't have one without the other. Life is a whirl wind of flipping back and forth. Especially when you struggle with mental health. I had it under control for a long time but now I remember... I remember what it's like to be a "client".
If you overload yourself, you will be let down and feel discouraged. My tip to those struggling with health and happiness - pick ONE goal at a time to focus on. Once that goal becomes part of your lifestyle, move on to the next. It doesn't matter how long it takes.
My clients and I set weekly, attainable goals to work towards and don't move on until they're crushed. A personal trainer is not just someone to tell you "how to workout". Off the record... they are a life coach, mentor, therapist, chef, cheerleader, mother, disciplinary, marriage counselor, accountability partner, word of reason, the real talk you can't handle, your worst enemy, shoulder to cry on and most of all your best friend.
I never would have been able to become my happiest and healthiest self without one.
This picture is to remind me and all of you that your wildest dreams are all in your hands. You can do anything, and have anything in this world if are dedicated, work hard and ask for the help you need...are you ready?
