When I look into The Mirror Now versus Six Months ago…..
I think it’s time for me to look back on my last 6 months.
I started to train – fell in love with Fitness- in June last year and I went through so much since. Learned a lot about my body and about myself.
My priorities and focus were constantly changing, first I was focusing on me going to the gym, and making it a routine; then focused on my diet and went less to train; and then got to the point when I went mad with training; and stepped back again for a more balanced workout session but focused more on my growth, on my mindset.
It was like a roller coaster with loads of mistakes. I do want to believe that today I am better version of myself; when I started my journey in Fitness to become a Vegan Athlete.
I do believe that exercising is more then just transforming our bodies, it changes our inner selves too if not the most.
I knew that I wanted to change from inside as much as my outside appearance. It’s important to be intentional about wanting to change. That starts with using every tool possible, what works for me.. And that is mostly reading books and interacting with like minded people. I wasn’t happy with who I saw when I looked into the mirror.
When I looked into those blue eyes, as deep as possible, I saw NO ONE.
I realised I searched for that someone for a very long time, but I’ve had to admit I won’t find it as much as I want. I have to create the person I want to see when I look into the mirror.
That person I wanna be, I wanna see won’t just appear. That someone MUST BE CREATED.
Starts with mindset.
I have to do things in order to become who I want to be!
I have to wake up each morning and decide do I want to become the person I see myself in the future?
If the answer is YES – then I have to do everything.
And the answer is every morning is a YES! It’s not always a fun ride, but I learned to enjoy making mistakes too, because those moments are the most important ones. Those scenarios teach me what I really needed to learn in that point of my life!
I’ve had help on my journey .. Had a few very important people in my life who were there for me when I needed them.
One of the most important person who helped me a lot and kicked my ass a lot of times is @verunasista, who is an absolute badass who I can adore so much and I just wish I could workout with her.
Through Verunasista I met with Andrew (@andrewstephenson.fitness) and my three month program had been created and followed by him. My body certainly changed month by month.
And because my collagues are calling me CrayCray for a reason, I had Daniel too (@b.l.fit) on the weekly basis for ten weeks who created awesome workouts which I barley survived. Dan’s approaches of transformation is more deep than I’ve heard before. He has a very similar point of view of mine as I do believe that first IN THE MIND had to be DECIDED what we want to do with our body. He started to “teach” me and others about the ‘how-to’s, included nutrition too.
And not enough I attended Taz’s (@tascfitness) classes too, which are killer WOD’s, I’ve had my fears that he will destroy me!
There are a few more friends I could add, to thank them individually, but then I’ll never finish this post 🙂
I just want to say THANK YOU for your support and I hope it wasn’t just this 6 month long relationship with you all 🙂
To sum up
Every struggle you had in your life shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times they can only make you stronger. And never forget who were there with you to keep you on the path.
Peace&Love
