This is a big one... you know what is crazy...that regardless of what attention we get it makes us self conscious..its almost like too much positive may make you "concieted" or too much negative will make you insecure about yourself....
Its crazy how many people walk through the gym almost ashamed of being there or appearing "sweaty" or exhausted...shyt thats wut you came to do! Why be anything else...i almost get amazed at people who walk out looking the same as they left in...without showering.... at this point in the game if you didnt give everything to the gym then why go.... since i been training at first I felt like...wow i am one of 3 females in here counting my trainer... which means I feel singled out and it almost feels like an outcast...
but then i thought at the same time....what makes them better off than me..we are all here for the same purpose to change our lifestyle in some shape or form right??? So my presence should not affect a person, however for some it does and you know what...
that is awesome!
because that means there is something about me, most likely good that just affects you in some way, i hope its positive and motivates but if not thats unfortunate.... so when i am in the gym best believe i leave it all on the bench... pushing it ...pushing it because why would you be there? Not to look cute i hope...but fabulous as you are killing it on that chest press or that cable...not to mention the mirrors showing you that you look the part!
I learned to embraced the looks, the omg..the whatever because it means that someone may consider getting on board which i recommend because it is exhilarating...and it only means that there will be a larger crowd of people come competition time in the same boat....so i use the gym to practice... holding my head up...walking with a purpose...because that is what will make you stand out from everyone else...
