I used to train for aesthetics. Purely for aesthetic. Working out brought me validation in a way nothing else ever had. It brought me a career. It brought me attention. It brought me power over others. I became addicted to the result and the work became secondary. . . Now, it’s the opposite. Power over my mind is the only power I want to carry. Training, teaching, moving, breathing is the journey and that’s all that matters, because that’s really all there is - the journey, the people, the places, and the feelings that I move through or sit with. . . Today my heart was challenged. It felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I remembered my training and sat in virasana or Heroes pose. I spoke to my heart by way of my breathe. It slowed. My mind slowed. I was in control. I opened my eyes and any residual fear became fuel. Fuel for building the best version of myself. Movement is the gateway to mastering the mind, slam walls definitely help. . . 30lbs wall slams 5 on each side - 10 total Superset with tire flips #masteryourmind #humanheroes #getafterit #nooneelsewill #transformationtuesday 📸 @clermontave (at Chelsea Piers Fitness - Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2J3mLAH9l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4eij59r33osf
