Confession: I was avoiding/scared of the gym for a long time basically until July. In July I worked with my therapist to just get my ass in the door. I went to smaller gym and did 25 minutes, 3 days a weeks for about 3-4 weeks and then found the confidence to return to my home gym. It was a huge hurdle for me because in my mind I felt judged every time I walked in the door. Judged for gaining weight, feeling out shape, others talking about me and just not feeling confident. It was all in my head but it took a lot of space and it’s all I thought about when entering the front door. I’m mindfully take the time to center myself before going and I plan my workouts ahead of time but I’m in the groove now. I’m feeling confident and I’m already crushing small goals I set for myself. I know this may happen to other people and I thought I would share to say you’re not alone. The gym is fucking scary and it takes a lot of work to just get in the door. With that said This self proclaimed “gym rat” is back! side note: yes i teach every week but that’s more muscle memory for me. I actually quit/stepped back from other gyms so I could put all my energy into one class because at the time that’s all the energy I could give. #life #work #health #mentalhealth #work #confidence #therapy #fitness #werk #depression #confident -- source link
