focus on YOUR studies. YOUR grades. YOUR hobbies. YOUR job. YOUR life.

Comparing yourself to others can not only cause a distraction, but also damage your mental health.

icarus-study

it did damage mine so here’s a PSA to all my followers and anyone reading this: ONLY COMPARE YOURSELF TO YOUR VERSION OF YESTERDAY.

don’t even look sideways at your friends/companions/classmates. it’s going to tear your morale down and make you miserable. i lived almost a year diminishing my successes only because i wasn’t anything compared to my friend. it RUINED my mental health, self esteem and my self doubt sky rocketed.

so please please please do not compare to others!! you do you babe :)

lohver

important!

My second week on the crew team, our coach pulled the women’s team around after practice. Since we’d made it this far, he figured we’d stick the season out and it was time to lay down some ground rules, especially since most of our team are true novices. I’ve found his rules to be valuable, so I thought I’d share them.

1) Eat. You are now an athlete. You will need the calories, especially as you build more muscle mass. Chances are you will need to eat more. You can carry granola bars with you, eat 4 medium meals a day, drink protein shakes, do what works for you. Cutting calories while doing two workouts a day is not safe. If you’re a vegetarian or have a dietary restriction, ask questions and plan what you eat so you don’t end up nutrient deficient.

2) You are not to step on a scale. Your body is going to change as you adapt to the sport. Muscle weights more than fat. Your weight doesn’t matter. What matters is that, because you are doing the work, you are getting stronger. (Our team doesn’t separate by weight class).

3) If anyone gives you shit about how you look or eat, crush them. You’re going to have the muscle to do it in no time. You’re all god damn Wonder Women and don’t you forget it.

He then walked over to the huddle of novice men and gave them the same lecture. They are also god damn Wonder Women.
