I’m really struggling today

I’m really struggling today

Hey

You know those days when you’re just in a bit of a funk and you can’t seem to get yourself out of it?

Well i am having one of those days today

They don’t happen to me as much anymore now that i have better control over my thoughts and emotions (and that is a big thing i teach my girls)

But today i am really struggling

getting up was a struggle
I can’t seem to get motivated
I’m convincing myself i am a mess and my body is horrible
I’m grumpy
And i am getting annoyed at myself for being annoyed at myself

You know when you just let it all get to you?

And if i’m honest, i’m actually a little bit upset too

And i don’t like feeling like this

How often do you feel like that?

How often do you have a day where it just feels like a struggle from start to finish?

How often do you look in the mirror and just get upset and angry

How often do you get angry at yourself, because you want to do something about it but don’t follow through?

Today i didn’t feel like doing anything and it all seems like a giant pain in the ass

I didn’t want to get up
I didn’t want to do my work
I didn’t want to see anyone
And i didn’t want to write this email

But i did

You see i have gotten really good at dealing with these things and i know that it is usually just me wrecking my own head

I know that doing the thing i said i would do is important and not doing it is going to make me feel worse

What iare the things you said you would do but haven’t followed through on?

How does that make you feel?

Sometimes not wanting to do these things can just be down to fear

Like the fear of change

You see i have a lot going on at the moment and a lot is changing, so i guess i am a bit scared and it is having an effect on me

But i am also aware of this (another thing i show my girls, how to become aware)

So because i am aware, i can force myself to do things when i am having one of those days

Because i know it is important and it is important to me to do my best

It is important to me to write this for you

So you can see i have shit too (not like all those other trainers who act like they are perfect)

I am pretty close though, i’ll always be a smart arse even on one of those days, haha

It is important to me for me to be able to show you that despite all of that other stuff, i am still here for you

And that i am still doing my best

Because you need to know that, because i am sure you have been let down before

Because getting the best for my girls is important

It is important they know i am always there

It is important they know they have someone who cares

It is important they know they have motivation and support

It is important they know they are not alone

It is important they know they have someone who understands

And it is important they know they have someone who will never let them down and always turns up for them

But it is also important for me that i have them, so i always have a reason to do my absolute best and keep going even when i am having a bad day

And that is what the SHAPE UP class is all about

It’s 6 girls who are all going through the same things (and me) giving each other

Support, teamwork, motivation, encouragement, accountability, help, allowing each other to finally believe in the possibility that you can do it and you are not all alone

Because we go through it all together

About the Author Leigh Wrafter

I specialize in helping stressed out, self conscious girls who are fed up of trying everything a getting nowhere finally get the body they desire. I'm so passionate about what i do and i believe one of my biggest powers is getting you to believe in something you didn't think was possible and had given up on. I love being able to help girls like you change not only how they look but how they feel about themselves too and it is why it is a fundamental part of all my programs. It's time to say goodbye to looking in the mirror and just seeing your flaws and hello to finally feeling comfortable in your own skin.
