Breathe in and out.

Repeat: "I am enough."

Because you, right now, are enough.

This week at the studio: you are enough.

Let your time at the studio be a reminder that, no matter what, you are enough.

You don't have to earn it.

You don't have to prove it.

You don't have to be perfect.

You are enough as you are, right now.

Come move, breathe, laugh, learn, rest, or simply ...

What if you let yourself try something new - even if you might be terrible at it?

Breathe in and out.

Repeat: "I am allowed to look like me."

In a world that is constantly pressuring you to fit in,

Let yourself stand out.

Be you.

Unapologetically you.

Your authenticity is needed in a world of greige.

Breathe in and out.

Repeat: "I am allowed to make mistakes."

Perfection doesn't exist, which means mistakes will happen.

If we know we aren't perfect, why berate ourselves when we aren't?

Instead, find the lesson in the mistake.

Especially if it is to give yourself grace.

Cheers,

HealthRex has encountered exactly that problem. 🦖

With a large T. rex body, tiny arms and a couple of dumbbells, a traditional floor chest pre...
