I am a catalyst for women becoming the strongest version of themselves, through fitness and power mindset coaching.
I had to drag myself to the gym the other day. I was tired. I had all the reasons to not go. I went anyway. No, this isn't about my willpower or anything like that. This is a post about learning to discern when you're actually tired and when you just simply don't want to. I have a 10-minute rule. Get yourself to the gym. Go through the motions of putting on your gym outfit and getting your ass there. Give yourself 10 minutes to warm up on the treadmill. Brisk walking speed, nothing intense. If after 10 minutes, you still feel like shit, maybe it's time to go home and rest. Most of the time, you'll most likely get yourself out of your funk and get to working out. My take is that we're in an era of misguided self-care, where we talk about spas, shopping sprees, and foodie adventures. Nothing wrong with any of those things, but they're not self-care. Self-care is born out of self-awareness. Are you tired or are you just unmotivated? Are you using the phrase "listening to my body" as an excuse? You are resilient, and you have to exercise discipline. To me discipline is just a big word for continuously making intentional decisions. Make the intentional decision to care for yourself. Get your ass to the gym. Join my program to kickstart your self-care journey. It'll be the best thing you can do for yourself entering the new year. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gXmi_p76 💜 🖤 #professionalwomen #fitness #wellness #coaching
Facts. Did the same today, and so glad I dragged myself to the gym. Someone out there is wishing they could do the same. Workout when you’re tired. Workout when you’re sad. Workout when you’re angry. Workout when you’re happy. Workout when you’re head needs space. 10-min rule is all you need to get started.
Great insight on self-awareness and intentional self-care decisions!

1dYour 10-minute rule is a masterclass in bridging self-awareness with discipline. It's not about pushing through exhaustion; it's about calling out your own excuses and deciding to show up for yourself. In an age where "self-care" often feels like an escape, you’ve reframed it as engagement—engaging with your body, your goals, and your capacity for resilience. The real win? Learning to trust that motivation often follows action, not the other way around. What if more of us treated discipline as an act of kindness toward our future selves?
