S U N D A Y Thoughts 💭
I’ve spoke to a number of people recently who have asked me how to overcome certain struggles etc with family/partners/friends etc etc
If I could go back in time to my younger self and give myself a piece of advice it would be “Stop being a people pleaser.”
I have learned so much in my fitness and self growth journey. My biggest take away - Give back, live in service but set boundaries and by that I mean your journey to where you want to get to in life is completely your responsibility.
Friends and family absolutely love us and would die for us but they can also be our biggest saboteurs because they don’t like change. Seeing someone change is uncomfortable. “Just have a bit of cake” “you’re doing too much” “don’t do that!” “You’re going to burn out” “that’s not good for you” “That’s a big undertaking, what if it doesn’t work out?” (you might fail and I don’t want to see you hurt is the true meaning behind this. But if you continue to follow the path others want for you then you’re going to live their life and not your own.
It’s good to get uncomfortable. That creates lasting change for the better and you don’t know what you’re capable of if you don’t take risks and test yourself. Set boundaries, get comfortable saying “No.” Not no because……just no. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for improving yourself whether it be self growth, physically, new career path, etc
You have one life. Say no. Say yes to what scared you. Pull in your big girl/boy pants and do the tough sh*t. Stop conforming to what other people want for you and instead have the balls to be your best you.
If you have a goal, any goal at all you have to LIVE in accordance with that goal for it to manifest and become a success. And that means making sacrifices, being selfish at times and again Saying NO. Prioritising yourself is not a bad thing if the outcome is going to massively benefit, yourself, your relationship and your families future.
It’ll be the biggest gift you ever give to yourself.
