Are you TRULY comfortable in your own skin?
Unfortunately, this is the thing that keeps most people BACK from achieving their fitness goal.
That's right, it seems opposite, but it's the truth.
People are so uncomfortable in their own skin, that instead of becoming empowered to get more fit, stronger, lose weight, gain weight, etc., they end up in a situation where it's more comfortable for them to hide than to go look awkward working out in front of other, more fit people.
I don't EVER cater to the mentality of "everyone is special, everyone deserves to win" - but I do know this: our bodies are ALL unique. My body is mine, your body is yours. All the flaws, all the imperfections, all the wrinkles, all the hair, all freckles, all the lines.....they are unique to that body.
That is powerful, and people need to spend an extra few minutes here and there understanding and respecting the body.
Take an extra few minutes looking at yourself sometime. Stand in the mirror, naked. Look at the details. Move your arms, watch how your body changes and reacts when you move. Through this, you can actually develop a respect and appreciation for your body. Not to mention, some comfort with it being the way that it is.
When you truly appreciate the body you have, and all of its capabilities and unique features, you WILL become more comfortable with it. Then (and this is the best part), once you become more comfortable with it, you will be able to apply a fitness routine and nutrition plan much more easily. Every little change that takes place you will notice because you will have a better understanding of your body.
It all starts with learning to love your body and being comfortable in your own skin.
Have a listen, and share with a like-minded friend.
