This was not my best leg day to say the least. I didn’t sleep much, and I carry an immense amount of pressure that I place on myself. There’s was a time in space 8 years ago, that I would have dreamed for the moments I experience now. I was just a young girl wanting to create impact of some sort. I used to work out in the middle of the night because that’s the only time my schedule allowed me to. It seems that a whole lot hasn’t changed since then. I still workout late. The moments I once dreamed of, unknowingly carry a lot pressure every single day. I’m trying to wear multiple hats in a day and trying to wear each hat to the best of my ability in that moment. I often times don’t feel like I am doing enough, or even being my best self in moments because each scenario often brings its own beautiful mess of chaos. I want to highlight something I said ... “I now face the pressure I once dreamed of.” I dreamed of this life and even on my bad days, I still want more. Tim Grover said, “Stress is the pressure we choose not to deal with.” Sometimes I want to feel sorry for myself in a moment and then all of sudden I snap back into reality. I fought so hard for this, yet I want to feel sorry for myself and act like my life is sooo hard? I’m allowed to feel as we all are. The important take away here is that I bring myself back to reality. I remember that I wasn’t set up for success. I know you probably see me and you may assume I’m a privileged blonde haired white girl. I am. I am also from Detroit. I grew up hearing gun shots in my childhood home. Now don’t get me wrong, I still lived a good life. This isn’t a sob story. I am beyond grateful for my life. I am beyond grateful for what I’ve achieved. If I have to workout at 11pm at night, oh well. Sometimes I take for granted the moment(s) I’ve worked endlessly for. If I haven’t said it enough, I’m grateful to be here. I’m grateful for you all. I’m grateful for the love and support. I’m grateful. I’ve earned everything I have, and I’m extremely grateful for this life I’m creating. Thank you for being here. xoxo #fitness #fyp #mythoughts #workout #legday #gymshark
