Mental health and fitness, let’s talk about it… I will start… I’ve been to the top of the mountain and felt buried underneath it. Over the years I have been my greatest ally and worst enemy all at the same time. I have found a way to somehow find success while sabotaging myself the entire time. I have felt anxiety like it’s electricity pulsing uncontrollably through my body. I have self medicated with alcohol and drugs to fight this. Fast forward… I have found a way to stay centred and grounded. It was difficult but equally incredible to feel the calm, clarity and pride that came with that. Everything has improved in my life because I took a stand against myself. The one thing that keeps me true to myself is fitness and the gym. I have given my life over to the gym, it is my church. If there is any simple, humble advice I can provide to any other person struggling with anything… Go to the gym, open the door and walk in. There is a miracle inside you that starts when do that every day, and most importantly… The magical and inspiration formula that people are looking for: Make yourself go! You tell yourself to f$&# off and go! You might not have a clue what you are doing when you walk in but the minute you do… You are now in charge of what happens in your life, no one else. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. ALWAYS. (Borrowed from my FB exercise community page)
