Bikini Fitness Model Posing Coaches tips

And that’s exactly why… “Your life needs substance beyond your reflection in the mirror and how you look”. Associating happiness and success in your life to how close you are looking to your competition photos or how your body is looking is not going to make you either happy or successful. How you look has nothing to do with your self worth or how dedicated you are or how hard you train in the gym or how successful you are emotionally, mentally or within your relationships.
In this bodybuilding, social media, perfect selfie world it so easy to get caught up in comparing yourself not only to your stage photos but to all the other photo shopped, airbrushed, filtered, perfectly posed pictures consuming your facebook and Instagram feed…. So it’s only natural for them to consume your brain.
To put things into perspective remind yourself how hard peak week was, what you were eating (or not eating), how much you were training, it is impossible to maintain that level of training.
I’ll be the first to admit I struggled with this for so long and I always look back on my comp photos and compare myself to where I’m at now with my physique. But what ive learnt is that we need to disassociate our strong, fit, happy, carb filled and hydrated everyday body your your competition body.
When you achieve external happiness will you really be internally happy? “Your life needs substance beyond your reflection in the mirror and how you look”. So everyday work towards finding meaning and happiness from within and in every aspect of your life… Beyond the competition, beyond your training, beyond your body. Because life is so much more than abs and 30 seconds on stage…
And to conclude…. In the words of Anthony Robbins – “you can succeed like crazy but still feel empty on the inside”.
