Stop thinking you need to change for anyone else?

I used to think I was doing it to…?

?Prove those who doubted me wrong?

Look better for others?

Impress my girlfriend?

?And while all of those initial reasons may well have given me some kick up the arse to make a change?

?They weren’t actually what really drove me to keep going?

?The truth is, and I couldn’t really see it at the time?

?Is that it was always about me?

?I wanted to change for me?

?To prove to ???????????? that I could do it?

To look better for ?????

To impress ?????????????

?I wanted to look in the mirror & absolutely love what was staring back?

?I wanted to have no doubts about myself when I got naked?

?I wanted to be so f*&king proud of my body?

?Those all sound like selfish reasons, don’t they??

?But, here’s the kicker?

?Being selfish is ???? ?????? ??????????!?

?You know when you ignore that flight safety announcement every time you fly??

?Well, if you’d listened to it, it would say this?

?“???????????? ?????? ???? ???????? ?????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ?????????????? ???????????? ???? ?????? ????????????”?

?The truth can be hard to hear sometimes?

?This analogy applies to everything about your life?

You may have spent the past 2, 5 or 10 years fitting everyone else’s oxygen masks?

?And never having put your own on?

?You feel suffocated by work, drowning in family commitments, and weighed down in finances?

?And rather than investing some time into finding solutions, you just keep trying to gasp for air?

You ???????? to be a little selfish?

?For yourself??

?Yes?

?But also, for everyone else around you!?

?They want you at your best, too?

?And if you’re in any way worried about being a little selfish, have a chat with those that you feel may object?

?I’m pretty confident that, if you explain to them how much this means to you & how beneficial it will be to them, too?

?There is no way that they are going to be anything other than supportive!?

?Whether you feel that you want external support or not?

?I genuinely hope that this is the post that gives you that ?????????????????? moment?

?And causes you to put on your own oxygen mask ????????!?
