Yes, it's 3am. I couldn't sleep, haha. Since I couldn't sleep, I decided to remedy that by looking at the IG pages of some of my favorite, most inspirational #alphafemales. ---▪️▪️▪️--- Once upon a time, even when I was I was in the best shape of my life, I used to feel absolute jealousy looking at successful ladies such as Ashley Horner and Dana Linn Bailey. I would be compared constantly by people in my life as a form of what they called "motivation." It never motivated me to be compared to them and to be told I should aim to look like them. But it did make me resentful. It made me resentful and anytime I saw these Alpha Females, I'd get angry. I'd get jealous. And for what reason? Not a good one, I can tell you that much. My mind was comparing me to people it shouldn't have. ---▪️▪️▪️--- Several years have passed since then, and over the course of those years, I've learned that I shouldn't compare myself to them. We all have different bodies and different goals. I can, however, draw inspiration from them. Not from their bodies, no, but from their dedication, determination, consistency, and work ethic. I have grown to understand that I shouldn't be resentful of anyone because of ill placed jealousy; instead, I should have been and am inspired by how much effort these ladies put into their work and lives. These two and many, many more leave me in awe with how much time and energy they spend to not only better themselves daily but with how they try to encourage thousands of strangers to do the same. ---▪️▪️▪️--- For those of you who are reading this, I encourage you to stop comparing yourself to others as #goals. It's not easy and you will have to train your mind to think differently, but it is worth it. If you use them as goals, you should aim for the work ethic, the mindset, and the willpower that these Alpha Females have so you can strive to be one, too. ---▪️▪️▪️--- #beyou #workhard #stronger #determination #ashleyhorner #danalinnbailey #alphafemale #dietetics #personaltrainer #personaltraining #womenwithtattoos #womenwholift #tattoo #tattoos #halfsleeve #nutrition #nutritionist #quadzillaintraining #lifting #running #5k #marathontraining #competit
