📝📜Daily Journal Prompt #50

Subject: Building The Foundation For Life

Hey friends,

Welcome back 👋

Today, I'd like to share my thoughts on a recent podcast episode that deeply resonated with me. It was an episode of Modern Wisdom featuring David Laid, an influential fitness YouTuber and Creative Director at Gymshark. His journey is a testament to the fact that the journey to fitness is so much more than physical. It’s about finding our self-worth beyond aesthetics, learning how to mentally deal with setbacks, and harnessing adversity to come out stronger.

I have always had an immense passion for health and fitness. I found the gym when I was 17 and very quickly became entrenched in the fitness culture. I have always believed in setting and achieving health and fitness goals that are rooted in self-love and self-improvement. After listening to David speak about his experiences, it reaffirmed this belief for me. Fitness is not just about the physical changes we see in the mirror, but also about the mental transformation and the emotional growth we undergo in the process.

For today's journal prompt, inspired by this conversation, I want you to reflect on your own health and fitness journey. Here is your question:

How have your fitness goals evolved over time and how have they contributed to your sense of self-worth beyond physical appearance?

Reflect on the times when you've faced setbacks, be it injuries or other obstacles, and how you've overcome them. Think about the lessons you've learned from these experiences. What role has fitness played in shaping your mindset, and how has this journey influenced other aspects of your life, including your relationships and your approach to adversity? Or maybe you have never really had a great relationship with setting fitness goals, you can use this as an opportunity to explore how you can set new self improvement goals going forward.

Remember, it's not about looking perfect or achieving that ideal physique we often see on social media. It's about growing stronger, both physically and mentally, and becoming the best version of yourself. The gym for me has always been in a lot of ways, my therapy, my meditation, my escape. It has helped me grow so much as a person far beyond the physical benefits and I want everyone to be able to experience that.

So, take a moment today and reflect on these questions. Write without judgment and let your thoughts flow freely. Through this process of introspection, you might uncover new insights about your journey and find new inspiration to set positive health and fitness goals.

Keep striving, keep growing, and remember that your worth extends far beyond what the mirror shows. You are so much more than your physical self, and your journey is a testament to your strength, resilience, and indomitable spirit​

Until our next rendezvous.

Your Friend, Austin ❤✌
