Sound like you? You may not be a former college athlete, but have found yourself doing the same?
-athlete.therapist popped into my feed a few weeks back and many of her posts have resonated!
-
I spent most of my teen years and into my early 30’s training and disconnecting from myself to train harder, lift more, row faster, etc!
-
And I’ve certainly read my fair share of “health” books!
-
I have been in this industry for several decades so I have tried most diets, fitness routines, trainings, fasting, etc.
-
I actually REALLY enjoy learning about it all and really don’t tire of it…
-
AND there is a time to feel…to pause…to check in with yourself and see if what you’re doing is serving you.
-
I currently work full time within my gym and yoga studio, and program for group and private clients daily. As much as I focus on strength and conditioning within the programming, I am equally passionate about the mental and emotional value of coming to class or for a private session.
-
So yes, enjoy your run. Enjoy your lifting, enjoy reading your self help books…but make sure to check in with yourself and ask whether it’s really serving you. Does it feel good (physically and mentally) and does it lead you in the direction you want to go?
