Fear of Being Forgotten as a Competitor

A real fear I have had to work through this offseason is being ‘forgotten’ about.

With the health struggles I’ve been facing after my last show I really feared losing all my momentum

I fought so hard for over a year to continue being better & better, then it felt like it all came crashing down around me. (Sometimes even still!)

I really thought that if I didn’t compete again in February or within at least 6 months my dreams were going to be stolen from me and all my hard work would be lost.

This fear was making me feel even more anxious and stressed which wasn’t helping my problems!

After talking to many of the pros in my podcast, “Confessions of a Bikini Pro” I quickly learned I wasn’t the only one who has felt this way

But I also learned how irrational of a fear it really is

To overcome this, I did what I guide my clients through! I discovered where the limiting belief that was driving the fear was coming from and worked through it!!

Turns out, I thought that I could only be successful if I kept going as hard as possible with show after show. I thought my success was from my momentum not from my consistency, shape, hard work, and improvements!

Bodybuilding requires BUILDING.

Instead of seeing this extended time off as a setback, roadblock, or momentum killer...

I’m refocusing my attention on what it is giving me!

It’s providing me the opportunity to GROW so much more.

The judge’s feedback was that I have a great shape for bikini division but I need more muscle EVERYWHERE!

I’m not afraid anymore

The judges are real people who I have a lot of respect for & to not do my due diligence in building on their feedback would be disrespectful to them, the sport, and my own goals!

My coaches invest so much time and energy into me. To not take their advice to recomp my health and have consistent cycles before even thinking about competing again, would be an insult to the care they provide to me to reach my goals

I’ll come back better than ever because of this

“The comeback is always stronger than the setback”

Goal/Affirmation: improve so much that even if anyone did forget me, I’d become unforgettable💪🏻
