“Our self-respect tracks our choices. Every time we act in harmony with our authentic self and our heart, we earn our respect. It is that simple. Every choice matters.” – Dan Coppersmith
Wow -SO POWERFUL! Being in the health and fitness industry for over 3 years now I feel it’s so important I touch base on the “self-love” topic especially when the month stands for LOVE. What I notice first when someone is starting out on their health and fitness journey is NOT what the physical transformation brings. What I notice first are their smiles getting bigger, the selfies happening more often, their head held a little higher with each passing week and that self-confidence is on the rise.
I start to notice others seeing themselves for the first time on how their loved ones view them and that's what is in their heart. Everybody DESERVES to see themselves in that light!
So when you think of working out don’t think "oh I need my body to look better, I need to get into shape". Instead, I want you to remind yourself that you deserve the LOVE! YOU DESERVE to remind yourself that working on you is a MUST so that you can truly show others how much you love them.
If you are someone like me and you feel guilty for spending the money on you or even the time...Remind yourself of this - you can never pour from an empty cup. Without your health you have nothing. Plus you never know who you’ll inspire in the process!
The greatest gift you can your loved one is the best version of you. It’s ok to even remind them of that too!
