Ive been reflecting on the competition workshop I attended yesterday and a few things have resonated with me. School work has been increasing leading up to exams and I have not had much time to clear my mind. My prep diet and training have been going smoothly so far but now that Im starting to sort competition season/summer details (eg photo shoots, MUA, self-promotion, work, etc) Im feeling the pressure build. I train to win. I push myself beyond my limits so that I will never feel as though someone else was working harder than me. Despite this, who knows what will happen on show day. I control and optimize all the variables I can, but some things will be beyond my control. What if I dont place as hoped? What if I dont get that job Im aiming for this summer? Will I be upset? Yes. More importantly though, will I move on? Yes. At the end of the day, you leave with the knowledge gained and disciplined lifestyle you have created. As I was reminded at the workshop, I am not someone who gives up. I accept my losses, work with criticism, and move forward so I can do better next time. Some days I feel like my motivation is running on empty and my mind starts looking for escapes. I push those thoughts out. Dont let self doubt or negative thoughts linger. Eliminate them and KEEP MOVING! You may not know exactly where youre going but its better to keep moving forward than to sit stuck.
