Surround yourself with happiness ☺️ (original post Aug 28th, 2017, 12.29AM)

 Today, I was reminded of a few different things that made me happy so to even have that I'm grateful for starters! 😁

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧Family-didn't get to see them today because of work but even to be in touch with them and make plans to do things was good today! #qualitytime #familybonding

👫👯Friends-some friends at work just made the day better...sharing jokes, stories, laughs...good people to be around #friendships #teamwork #laughteristhebestmedicine

✈️🌎🏋️‍♀️💙Passions-talking to people today about things I have such interest in...examples today was Crossfit and travel. Travel is always something I am passionate about and would love to keep doing and even more often. Crossfit is something I have become to love more lately...something I would love to try, something I would love to be good at...Crossfit athletes are one of the goals for me!!! #crossfit #athlete #fitness #goals #travel #wanderlust #world #nomad

So, whatever gives u the 'feels'...whatever makes u happy, positive, full of energy, optimistic, then these are the things we should surround ourselves with. Embrace them and let us build on the good and knock back the bad and negative.

#goalsforlife #dontsettle #pushyourself #outofcomfortzone #behappy 🙌😁👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👫👯🏋️‍♀️✈️🌎💙

What’s your win? 🥇

Powerlifting 🏋️‍♀️ competition number 3 for me this weekend. I had signed up a while ago but was almost about to withdraw when the worst thing in my life happened a couple of weeks ago 🥺💔 After some thinking, I wanted to at least show up and try and make people proud 💕  Watching some videos back, there is a list of criticism I can give myself about form etc. but maybe that’s for another day and I’ll be happy to take it all on and keep learning.  But the win for me was turning up. Was such a tough day but I tried to do what I could. Fails were there for sure but I am definitely not beating myself up over any of them. One that I’ll take is my first triple digit lift ever-100kgs deadlift. I know some people are looking at these baby weights and laughing at the struggle when I’m trying to lift. A mix of devastating life events, bad sleep and bad nutrition led to some of it but no excuses ever.  Show up, gave what I could, that’s my win 🥇  Thanks to those who encoura...

Does the shoe fit? 👟

​Still seeing photos and videos and having chats about my 2nd ever powerlifting competition last Saturday! (Thanks Boyneside 🤩) Was gifted with my first pair of weightlifting 🏋️‍♀️ shoes 👟 too for after it from my folks! 😍 Bringing up lot of thoughts 💭 though! Looking back on the whole thing, I went through every emotion-nerves for walking out in front of everyone, anxiety at not being familiar with the whole process, apprehension with not knowing a lot of people and trying to build up the courage to say hi even, embarrassment at having such light lifts in comparison to others and still struggling with some. So, I’m at a crossroads of what to do-do I give the shoes a try? (Kind of a metaphor here) Is powerlifting even for me? Do I take a different route? I know my goal is to be stronger anyway that’s for sure. But does that look like trying to be accepted into an area or group where maybe I don’t belong, does it mean I try focus on just me and whatever good comes along with that I...

Post trip thinking time 💭

​ ​Funny how a break from routine can let your mind think of different aspects of your life so that when you return it’s clearer where your interests lie and what changes you want to make 🫣 One thing on the trip was that the food choices weren’t the best so I felt myself craving colour today! Spinach, prawns 🍤 and peppers 🫑 did that job! 😋 Only got back last nite so even though I am still so tired, I was so excited to get a gym session in…it’s like medicine! 🏋️‍♀️ Being honest, my biggest struggle was work-huge lack in motivation. I’ve been through times that I got into a rut and should have made changes sooner. Is this a time I have seen that it’s needed. One conversation I had in the past week included this and where possible we need to do what makes us happy if & when we get the chance 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 Get to the people and places that bring out your happy. #dontsettle #happiness #goals #thoughts #motivation #gym #nutrition #wellness #wellbeing #sociallife
