how the gym saved my life.

about a year and a half ago, i started to come to the realization that maybe what i’m doing isn’t good for me and that i need help.

i’ve been through many tribulations in the past 6 years and the day i excepted helo was the best decision of my life.

the gym hasn’t always been my friend. i struggled with the fact of gaining weight ever since i joined, but more recently in the last couple of months i hit an all time low again, destroying all the progress i have made to better myself and learn from my illness.

when i first joined, all i wanted was to gain weight and achieve a certain look.

at this point moving forward, my main goal is to be healthy and be the strongest version of myself i can possibly be.

the gym saved my life by creating a visual for my number ONE metaphor in life, “i am stronger than i was 6 months ago, and i will again change in another 6”

this timeframe helped me set an ideal for growth and maturity, and has left me successful again and again.

when creating a strength plan in the gym, you will physically see a drastic change in as little as six months.

what i’ve learned is to apply that into all aspects of my life, and to accept my biggest fear in life; change.

wherever you are in life, take a timeline of six months into consideration, and utilize that to build a better version of yourself not only your body like the gym will do, but for your mind as well.

thank you, gym. 💗
