Today I’m @ifs_events to watch a few speakers who put out messages I respect on social media. @bdccarpenter @soheefit & @jamessmithpt are all well-known proponents of taking healthy, mentally sustainable approaches to fitness and steering clear of a mindset that prioritises “hacking” weight loss or putting it before ones sanity. They’re at the front line of fighting how, particularly as we consume it in well marketed snapshots, a lot of the online fitness culture is misleading.

It’s very easy to live under the illusion that abs and guns must equal happiness - there aren’t many photos of ripped people on Instagram who look miserable, yet I guarantee you many of them are.
-
It’s not necessarily the acquisition of their physique that made them miserable (though, for many, a life of deprivation and lacking anything that inspires them more than what they look like could have), more that there’s very little correlation between shreddedness and happiness.

Yes, being HEALTHIER means you feel better. How ripped someone is doesn’t provide an indicator of this though.
Yes, time to invest in yourself in the gym is good for your sense of self-worth and mental health, but it doesn’t mean someone is happy with the other 23 hours of their day.

A ripped fitness influencer I know in Vegas eats donuts and pizza all day and has to recreationally “medicate” his way through his daily battle with depression.

In their podcast this week Ben & James talked about the different ways in which a lack of inspiration and contentment showed itself in their habits and decision making.
-
My recommendation would be to focus on the things that improve your health & contentment. Go to the gym because it’s rewarding to spend that time exercising and use the modality that you enjoy most and look forward to. Make sound dietary decisions because the energy they give you is rewarding.
-
Look for something in the rest of each day that you find rewarding. Time with family. Painting or playing music. Checking in with a friend who you know is struggling. Studying a subject you love that might just allow you to make it your career.

Don’t be fooled by feeds. “Happiness > Pleasure”

[LONG POST ALERT]
Living life on the edge. Alot of people ask why I have so much energy to do so many things. To be honest, I don't and I am often struggling with extreme fatigue and stress because I try to do so many things at one time.

Why? I use my #adhd as an excuse to say my brain doesn't want me to rest and I need to keep moving. Beneath it all, I feel weak and vulnerable. Since young, I was skinny and frail and often times I feel I wasn't heard, that people didn't value my opinion, or people would bully. The kindness I show to others wasnt valued and in turn I end up being taken for granted and hurt myself.

Till today, exercising is still challenging. My non-athletic genes (or maybe lazy habits) from my family means I get tired pretty easily. Day in day out, I keep myself moving despite just wanting to sleep in really badly. Some wonder why I torture myself this way! 😂 But, the feeling of being strong is very addictive for me. I want it, and I need it - for my sanity. It became the driving force for me to keep doing, knowing that if I put my heart and effort into it, I too, can become strong. When stress kicks in and I feel like giving up, this becomes an important boost to propel me on.

It's not easy being a fitness trainer because people expect us to be strong. But many times I feel inadequate and not up to it, the feeling that my clients can potentially be stronger than me. That again, put a fair amount of stress that keeps pushing me to train harder.

Now coming 40, my body suddenly feels vulnerable. Recovery takes forever, and I get tired so easily that people started judging.. 'Huh why are u so tired from just a short run?' 'climbing isn't so tiring what isn't it?' I could easily do 2 classes back then but now things are definitely slowing down. I am often so tired I forget things, couldn't focus, and trying v hard to do my work well. I don't know how much longer I can last keeping up with the activities that I enjoy doing, but let's see when I'm 40 next year.

Be kind, because everyone is trying. Everyone has their struggles, and everyone starts from a different starting line. It's nice to see 6 packs but it's even more inspiring seeing the effort to get there.

1. morning workout (cheers @firestation.my)
2. get kid to move to dance
3. play piano
4. keep kid away from working papa
5. quality time me + chloe (i'd like to think)

#CMCO extended and expected. time to get creative instead of stressing out over exercise time/kid time - just put them ALL together!
