It was never discipline.
I always told people I lacked discipline. When I said this, they would look at me confused and say: "Wait, how can someone who goes to the gym every day, summer, winter, on vacation, after work... say she doesn’t have discipline?"
And my answer has always been the same: It was never discipline.
They thought I just lacked the confidence to admit I was disciplined. But the truth was deeper than that.
Growing up, I learned to believe I wasn't capable of doing things "the best way." I felt average at school, average at work. I never managed to feel truly passionate about my day-to-day life.
It wasn't because I wasn't smart enough. It was fear. In time, I understood that I didn’t bother to try because I was terrified of confirming what I thought people (my teachers, my bosses, my family) thought of me: that I wasn't enough.
But sport... sport was different. It was the only place where I heard a different voice. A whisper that said: You’re capable. You can do it.
Movement taught me that I didn’t need anyone's approval. I didn’t have a boss telling me "you could do a little more." It was just my body changing and evolving, step by step, day by day.
I started to think: "Wait a second. AM I REALLY CAPABLE?"
And every day, I wake up and I move just to hear that voice again, and again, and again.
That’s why I don’t give a sh*t about discipline, motivation, or comparison. We are so much more than that.
I know many of us start with the idea of: "I’m not pretty enough, not smart enough, not skinny enough... If I’m perfect I won’t be cheated on... let me get a revenge body on my ex."
My mission is to help you do it for YOU. Not because you hate your body, but because you love it enough to see it flourish. We will work on improving your health, but at your own pace, not as a condition to be loved.
Trust me, I came a long way to find this peace. And I know if I could do it,
SO CAN YOU.
We are so much stronger than we think.
