Today, I took a virtual Pilates class on mat with Peggy from Bodytonic .
One thing she said was, “No judgement, go at your own pace. Your strength will build up day by day”
That instantly cleared my head and stopped me from worrying. I think I performed better than I imagined I could. (aka I was able to follow along and finish the reps with her, most of the time. ) I still wanted to do more even after her class finished.
Lately I found myself being extremely inpatient. I need to set a constant reminder to self, you don’t build true strength in seconds/days/weeks. It takes months or years consistently, plus the accumulation of sweat, tears, pain, for it to develop and be maintained.
Slow progress is still progress. Trust and enjoy the process. Let those abs burn! Believe me you will come out feeling stronger and a bit freer.
Be happy be free,
Tiffany ❤
