“The greatest battle we face as human beings is the battle to protect our true selves from the self the world wants us to become.”

What one presents to the world is not necessarily how one feels of oneself…
Many people hide behind an identity or a mask to avoid being really “seen”. 

By hiding feelings and emotions, people are usually in fear of how they will be perceived and even of their own self-images. 

Unfortunately, the most frequent way this is manifested in behavior is by silence and withdrawal. Our culture is a factor which may cause people to hide their feelings - culture demands that the answer to the question “How are you?” is “Good”, “Great”...or “Awesome”. 
There’s this relentless drive to mask the expression of our true underlying feelings.
But...hidden feelings can be very destructive of the person having them and the people around them.

I expect today's post might not to run too smoothly - as my thoughts are still quite messy at the moment.
And you know - that's okay :)!
So much happened last week - in the first half of the week, several coaching meetings brought me the idea of writing about self-sabotage - I've touched on this topic briefly before - but the news about the competition cancellation in the second half of the week – wiped me off…no article and no post at all…Honestly - I was also ready to be “strong” and do it anyway. But then…
...I decided to give myself some time and live my emotions through.
Too often we forget that different feelings are okay and as we always hear that - be positive, don't think negatively, don't feel negative feelings…we are so used to suppress our feelings and wear masks. However, if you ignore your feelings and suppress them, you will collect them and create completely new - often self-harming - stories in connection with them. However, by consciously taking the time to live through our emotions, we also get a real opportunity to let go of them and move on :). I will definitely write about self-sabotage in the close future ;)!

Ask yourself, “How have I evolved?”. Photos from my first and from my last photoshoot with @happyemotionsphotography.

Picture on the left was taken in Spring 2018 and the right one in Autumn 2019...soooo...1,5 years between those photos..

STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS! You know…some people don’t tell you the complete truth about their weight loss or booty gains journey so stop comparing yourself to others - because people won’t tell you they starved themselves to get in a dress size or took some „magic pills“ pills to speed up their weight loss or they are taking unnatural booty-pop poses. Some people want to make the journey seem like it’s simple and easy – to sell you something! 

Seriously! This 1000kcal-magic-tea or booty-band-building trend isn’t about health or fitness — it’s about selling you stuff!

In today's social media age, we often hear challenges - "Achieve the body of your dreams in just X weeks!"

Pictures of great changes are included and you will feel how you would like to see such a result in yourself. Just before the important events, the idea of a magical program seems to be very tempting, which in a month or two will give you a dream body, because there is a voice in your head that confirms - at least in that short time I can make an effort!

And really - the first changes can be very big, especially if you haven't moved at all before and there is a lot of overweight. But what are the real reasons for this change being recognized?
