I received a word of encouragement this morning from Master Trainer, Nate Offer. He made me think about what being STRONG requires. He shared how he fails so many times during practices and training sessions, and that sometimes he does not meet the bar because of fatigue from the workout.
(Sigh). Me too. It takes a minute for me to learn the moves and progressions. Sometimes I start on the wrong foot, my alignment is off, or I get lost in the music.
“STRONG is finding a way when there feels like there is no way!” STRONG is being halfway through my first spring semester as a doctoral student, surviving papers, projects and my first midterm exam and looking forward to the final.
“STRONG is more than just a word, it’s a mentality, a lifestyle and something that I do my best to embody!” STRONG is prioritizing self-care, eating right, and getting enough sleep. STRONG is taking time to laugh with my husband or a friend. STRONG doesn’t quit, but comes up short, reflects on ways to improve and then comes back for more.
“No matter what you are going through, you are still standing and be encouraged because YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK‼️”
Thanks, Nate. I needed that. So will I see you at the Rec on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm?
