On Monday morning, at 5:50am, I went trotting off to the gym for a group workout. This was my first after a few weeks of ailments and my cardio sucked (predictably) but I did my best.
At the end, my coach said, “That was very hard for you, so I hope it makes you want to come here more.” I replied, “I’m just really proud of myself for turning up.” Nobody else did.
The reason I turned up that Monday morning was to put in the work for my own benefit. I did the same this morning and will do the same tomorrow too. Out of love for myself.
Working on yourself implies you aren’t enough as you are. That’s wrong. You are enough.
Do it for the love of yourself instead.
