Building the habit of showing up imperfectly
Hey friend,
Are you struggling with showing up for yourself?
Let’s get clear on your expectations.
If you're getting back into movement...
for the first time ever
after a long time or period away (& you’re hella nervous!)
or you’re experiencing (or have experienced) high stress
Aiming for a 100kg hip thrust or a bench press PB is IRRELEVANT!
Here’s why:
We don’t start reading and then start swallowing down entire encyclopedias in the first month of kindy
We don’t start a new job and then replace our boss in the first 3 months
We don’t start cooking and then take over as head chef of a 3 hat restaurant
Movement is learning.
And learning is about
1. Being a beginner
2. Understanding it's a skill that takes practice!
We tell ALL our newbies that for the first 90-100 days - don't set any huge goals. Instead:
aim to SHOW UP imperfectly
BUILD the habit of moving
WRESTLE with how it can fit in around your already busy life
Find your fav ways to move!
I promise you, this will take the stress off and you'll end up surprising yourself with:
increased strength
lifting heavier
feeling more energized and connected to your body!
You’ve got this!
