For years I thought changing my body would be the magical cure for my poor body image, but I’m slowly I’m learning it will forever be a work in progress for me. ⁣
⁣
Body image is something I still struggle with. ⁣
It’s something that creeps in when I get anxious. ⁣
It’s my coping mechanism when things don’t go my way. ⁣
It’s my default to focus on when other things are off. ⁣
⁣
And I’ve learned no matter how small I get, or how much I grow. I will FOREVER find a flaw. ⁣
⁣
So I recognize that and am always working towards separating how my body looks from who I AM as a person. ⁣
⁣
And as I work to be the healthiest version of me on the outside, I work towards becoming the healthiest me on the inside. ⁣
⁣
I’m learning new ways to cope. ⁣
I’m reframing my mindset. ⁣
I’m choosing to work towards seeing things differently – even if I don’t believe it just yet. ⁣
And quite honestly, I’m learning to look deeper for the underlying problems triggering my poor body image (it often has nothing to do with my body). ⁣
⁣
Because if you never work on changing your mindset – the external will never be good enough. ⁣

THERAPY. ⁣

Movement is my THERAPY.
⁣
When I fell in love with dance, I had no idea that it would quickly become the greatest thing I could do for myself and my body. ⁣

I lacked confidence. ⁣
I was plagued by food and an eating disorder. ⁣
But it quickly became the one outlet for my anxiety and self hatred. ⁣
It brought me joy and community during a time when I felt very much alone. ⁣
⁣
When I fell in love with group fitness it gave me direction during a time when I felt lost. ⁣

I struggled with body image, speaking up for myself, ⁣
It taught me confidence. ⁣
I found my passion. ⁣
⁣
When I fell in love with strength training it taught me to appreciate my body for what it could do instead of how it looked. ⁣

It taught me strength. ⁣
It helped me fight depression and anxiety. ⁣
It became the outlet that saved me. ⁣
⁣

Find what you love. ⁣
Find what brings you joy.⁣

It can be really easy to look at someone and assume they NEVER struggle with body image.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But I’d like to argue that almost everyone from time to time has a feeling of wanting to look differently. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And I’ll be totally honest in saying it is likely something I will FORVER battle. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It would be really easy for me to tell you that I’ve completely healed my relationship with food and my body. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Announce that I’ve finally found the confidence I’ve always wanted and you can too. ⁣⁣
But here’s the thing… ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Life is messy. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I will always be working on becoming a better version of myself. ⁣⁣
Of seeing my worth. ⁣⁣
Of battling body image. ⁣⁣
Of tackling anxiety. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And that’s okay. Because it’s forever improving.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s not about never having the thoughts again. It’s all about hot you choose to handle them when they come. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Life will never be perfect. ⁣⁣
Choose to show up real. ⁣⁣
Choose to show up as you. 💛⁣⁣

“𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬?” ⁣
⁣
I get asked this question at least once a week and I am always 100% honest in saying a big fat NOPE. ⁣
⁣
I do CrossFit too. I used to feel like I had to hide that, or pretend like I only did 21 Day Challenges at home, but here’s the deal; I am a HUGE believer of finding what works for YOU and running with it. ⁣
⁣
For some that’s the gym, others it’s at home workouts, for everyone it REQUIRES support & community to stick with it. ⁣
⁣
CrossFit has become my therapy. ⁣
Teaching group fitness classes is part of my job. ⁣
Working out at home has been another added way to improve my results. ⁣
⁣
And here’s a really cool fact, when I started incorporating more of the at-home workouts I get my clients set up with, I started seeing huge changes in my body AND my fitness started to improve. ⁣
⁣
It’s something I don’t think I share enough and want to be genuinely honest about. ⁣

⁣
Which is why I continue to encourage you to find what works for you and stick with it, and it really will be 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 for everyone. When I stopped seeing results with my regular routine, I switched things up and added in some of our programs. ⁣
⁣
And quite honestly I couldn’t be happier with the results. ⁣
