While I may not often grapple with gym anxiety, I’ve had my fair share of moments feeling self-conscious about my appearance or the pace of my progress compared to others. If you’re nodding along, I want you to know that you’re not alone in this.

At some point, we all have moments of self-doubt and body scrutiny. It’s a shared experience, a part of our journey towards self-improvement and pushing boundaries. It’s crucial to remember that those you’re comparing yourself to may have been at it for much longer. It’s perfectly fine to not be fixated on your body and still want to make changes, but don’t let this hinder your gym visits. It might feel uncomfortable, but it’s necessary to step out of your comfort zone.

The people you’re comparing yourself to understand the struggle of achieving their physique, and they’ve been through the starting phase. They’re not judging you; they’re more focused on their own journey. Keep in mind that progress takes time, and it’s normal to feel nervous initially. But once you start pushing yourself, you’ll realize it’s more manageable than it seems. I have faith in you; keep pushing forward.”

“While I am all for improvements and pushing yourself, it’s important to be mindful that the people you compare yourself to have been in the game much longer. It is okay to not be obsessed with your body and want to change it but do not let this stop you from going to the gym. It may feel vulnerable, but you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

Those people that you may be comparing yourself to in the gym know how hard it is to achieve their physique, and they know what it is like to start. They are not judging you; they are much more concerned about themselves.

Progress takes time, and it’s okay if you are initially nervous. It’s a gradual process, and each step forward is a victory. Once you push yourself forward, you will soon find that it gets much easier. I believe in you; continue to push forward. ❤️
