Hey Team,
There are people all over the Internet who are trying to tell you the one true way to achieve your fitness or well-being goals.
They may have some valuable information for you, but there is no such thing as the one true way.
Different things work for different people, and there are so many factors involved that it is not even remotely possible that this random person has your well-being all figured out.
You are the one who knows you best.
You are the boss of you.
You get to decide which practices make sense for you and for your life.
And if what you are doing is working for you and moving you in the direction you want to go then stick with it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the latest trend or if you’re addressing all the micro elements that someone has identified as essential to fitness.
What matters is if it is beneficial for you, you are able to do it, and it is getting you where you want to go.
The practice that you will do is way better than any perfect practice someone else’s outlined.
You know yourself, your schedule, your capacity and abilities, and your inclinations better than any influencer on Instagram or YouTube.
So you don’t need to feel weird about not jumping on a bandwagon, about not following the latest trend, about not pushing yourself in the way that someone who doesn’t even know you is insisting that you should.
A lot of these influencers use heavy duty pressure tactics to convince you that there’s something wrong with you and if you don’t want to follow their program, there will be no way to fix it.
But not wanting to follow someone who makes you feel bad, someone will benefit from you feeling bad, that is not wimping out, it is not a lack of commitment, and it is not an unwillingness to work hard.
Choosing not to follow their guidelines or their program is actually about you trusting yourself. It’s about you trusting your knowledge and it’s about you understanding your own body.
Don’t buy into their hype.
Now, I’m not saying that you can’t seek out advice or that you can’t look for interesting online programs to follow.
I just want to remind you that, as your own boss, you get to decide what will work for you, for your body, and for your well-being.
Please be kind to yourself out there.
And, of course, here is your gold star for today.
Today we are celebrating your efforts to move towards the life that you want
Those efforts may be big, they may be small, they may be visible, or they may involve making the decision to trust yourself and your practises and letting your skills and abilities develop.
No matter what work you put in today or any day, your efforts matter
You matter.
Go Team Us!
