Stronger Together

I’ve had a lot on my mind recently, and I’ve really been thinking about what is most important to me in this moment. I would encourage you to do the same. Whether it’s training for a meet, a PR, personal hobby, personal goal, whatever it is, DON’T DO IT ALONE! While not everyone may have the luxury, proximity, or availability of close friends or family, there is likely at least someone in your circle who you can count on as a true support. But if not, START HERE! Message me! Reach out to the online gym community. Reconnect with an old friend. Mend a relationship, or build your boundaries if needed. It’s ok to disconnect and end relationships with those who only tear you down.

What does support look like? To me, support begins with myself. It starts with feeling proud about my accomplishments and proud of the person I am today. It starts with trust in my journey. It starts with confidence in my knowledge and unique skill-set. It starts with not comparing myself to others, but only being a better version of myself today than I was yesterday.

In this sense, being proud of myself is not being arrogant or better-than someone else. It also recognizes those who are in my circle, my supports, those who build me up. Asking for support is NOT weakness, but STRENGTH! In turn, I can offer my support to those who I know will be there to support me. Being a support to someone is not an admission that you are inferior, nor is it an obligation. A true support is a mutual trust that you are there to build each other up and not let the other fall. To cheer them on as they build their foundation and additional supports and add your strength to theirs, just as they add theirs to yours. This is what it means to be STRONGER TOGETHER!

Shout out to my closest friends and my supports. You mean everything to me!

For the rest of those who read this blog, the best support you could offer me is subscribing to this blog and to my social media channels (links below), and by liking and sharing my posts! If you want to support on a more personal level, buying some of my merch items and telling people about it is another great way to spread the word and start building a community!

If you’re reading this and feel like you have no one right now, send me a message and let’s chat! You can always start with me.

STRONGER TOGETHER
