it took me 3-4 months to finally gym alone ˘͈ᵕ˘͈

as we all know… the gym is probably one of the places we’d feel most intimidated to go to ALONE 🫣, at least for me 😓

and yes, you read that right, it took me 3-4 months of courage gathering to finally go to the gym all by myself 🥵

COMMON FEARS:

- social anxiety/ gym too congested

oof, i still face this sometimes 🫠 and i’d get mini anxiety attacks prior tapping into the gym :-/

- fear of doing the routine wrongly

you know how you feel like everyone’s looking at you??? and if they think you’re doing it wrongly? ME 🥶

HOW I OVERCAME THEM:

well, it definitely took more than just courage! it’s also getting used to the gym i frequent at! having friends that are down to come with weekly was definitely my booster :p it was reassuring to have company & someone to help you check your posture & achieve similar body goals (BELLA HADIDDD)

over time, as you know, not everyone’s schedules alike, and when they can’t make it but you wanna go… you kinda push yourself and your inner demons… and before you know it , you’re there & you’re trying out things all by yourself, like the big boy/girl you are!

TIPS:

if you’re concerned over your body type, and you think “what if they judge me… i’m so small” this one’s for you…

THEY WERE SMALL/BIG ONCE TOO… remember, we’re all in the gym to work on ourselves!

what i did to really TOUGHEN UP is take 30 seconds to really stand and look around the gym… and what i realised? NO ONE IS LOOKING… everyone is just focusing on their own thing … and the only possible interaction? “are you using this?” HAHAHAHHAHA

i hope these are helpful in guiding you along if you’re having difficulties with heading to the gym alone… YOU GOT THIS! and if you don’t, hmu! WE GOT THIS!
