You’re fat and ugly.

That’s what the constant voice has been in my head for years.

It doesn’t benefit me to allow these thoughts to continue, but I have.

It’s a big reason why my self confidence has lacked in the past (and at times in the present). Because regardless of if I believe the thought or not, when it’s constantly repeated it becomes a belief.

So here’s how I change my beliefs.

1. As soon as bad thoughts come, I shut them down. Tell myself it’s some lying part of my brain saying it and it’s not true.
2. Tell myself something positive. Whether it’s a self compliment or an affirmation about where I’m headed, it helps because a repeated thought becomes a belief.

If you’re tired of not liking what you see in the mirror…

Of not feeling confident…

Of feeling weak…

Isn’t it time to make changes?

You deserve to life a life that comes with feeling strong and confident.

A life where you go after what you want.

A life where you love yourself more than ever.

A life where you feel confident all the time!

If you’re ready to make that happen, message me!

I grew up with a chip on my shoulder.

I was the youngest child so I was always picked on.

I was never the fastest or most athletic.

I was smart but never the smartest.

I clearly remember after my grade 11 football season, I won offensive lineman of the year (again) for our team and then didn’t get picked as a league all star for what would’ve been the second year in a row. I was pi**ed. And that led to me busting my ass in the offseason to be better than ever, and the next year I ran it back for offensive lineman of the year for our team (3rd time), plus another award, and not just league all star but most valuable lineman in the league.

A big reason for those awards happening is because of the chip I put on my shoulder.

Now, at 27 years old, that motivation doesn’t work as well for me. It’s hard to find stuff to get pi**ed at constantly to feel motivated, not to mention exhausting.

The point is, as we get older, motivations change.

When I was 20 I worked out so that my tinder game could be strong.

At 27 I workout to be healthy, look good for my fiancé, feel confident, and set a good example for our future kids.

Stop trying to find reason and motivation to workout in something that’s no longer there and recognize that you aren’t the same you that existed 5 years ago, and that’s a good thing.

Figure out what drives you now and use that.

I’ve had days where I feel super confident in how I look, the progress I’ve made in the gym, and so on…

And then I see someone who’s just a little bit bigger than me, and I start comparing myself to them, and feel a bit worse.

And then I see someone squatting more than me, and I compare myself to them, and feel a bit more worse.

And then I see someone with my goal body, and I compare myself, and feel worse yet.

S**t, I regularly catch myself comparing myself to other trainers in the gym (many of whom are 10+ years older than me and therefore have a lot of years on me lifting).

I’m sure you can relate to this.

Comparing yourself to others and letting it steal your joy.

But what we tend to forget is each of those people may have been lifting for longer than we have.

They may be jealous of other parts of your life that you’ve developed more.

Life is a race we’re running against ourselves.

And all we can do is our best.

If you’re going to compare yourself, use it as fuel, then move on and focus your energy on comparing your present self to your past self.

Are you better than you were 5 years ago? What about 2 years ago? What about 6 months ago?

Stop comparing yourself and making yourself miserable.
