Week 2 of the photo challenge. What or who motivates me. For my motivation is not a person; a picture; a goal; an outfit. What motivates me is knowing that I have the ability to get up and walk each day. It’s simple but for so many it’s a challenge and some are not even able to do that at all. So because I can and as long as I can I will continue I do so. #dfbrisbane#drivefitnessphotochallenge#drivefitnessphotochallengeweek2#aussiegirlamericanboy #nc #dryfalls#dryfallsnc #ncmysecondhome#walkingandexploring @carolinahawkeye@drivefitnessbrisbane
#drivefitnessphotochallengeweek2 What motivates me | Koalas - the possibility of spotting a koala always gets me out of bed for fitness. Wondering if I’ll ever turn up to strength training @drivefitnessbrisbane and be treated to a koala hanging out on the rack? #howgoodarekoalas #tooheyforest#mtgravatt #🐨 #benchpress #dfbrisbane#drivefitnessphotochallenge
• What motivates me •
This week, #drivefitness asked us to think about what motivates us. I went through the usual - before and after shots, getting skinny, getting strong. But I can’t resonate with any of those. I have to honor my whole self - even the unfit self. Even the soft self. Even the chubby self. Because those selves are tied up in who I am today and tied in to where I came from. .
.
My mum died nearly 7 years ago from cancer. She’d never in her life been what I now consider ‘healthy’. The largest most loving heart, but the smallest self-esteem, and eating and exercise that usually accompanies that. .
.
I know there are links between obesity and cancer, and health and healing from cancer. And every day I wonder if she’d loved herself more, moved more, and ate less, would she still be here to hug my boys (and let’s face it, fold my washing and hug me when I need it). And I can’t help but think she would be. .
.
So my inspiration is to listen to what she told me that she couldn’t believe herself: “you are stronger than you think”. .
.
She inspires and motivates me. Literally every day. To love myself as she loved me (but never loved herself): to move, to nourish my body. .
.
This is MY daily #inspiration and #motivation
