Don't Compare Yourself To Others In The Gym - Coach Vicky

 As someone who often shies away from new experiences or situations that are outside of my routine, I knew this year I needed to make a change in order to grow and develop as a person.At the beginning of the year, I made a conscious effort to set goals for myself in different areas of my life - from personal growth to career to fitness. One of my biggest achievements so far has been travelling back to the UK solo, without my kids or husband. This was a huge step for me as I had never done anything like this before, but I managed to push past my fears and anxieties and spend some much needed quality time with my family that I hadn’t seen for 5 years. In terms of my fitness goals, I have been working on developing new skills rather than just focusing on personal bests. This has been challenging as I often worry about looking stupid or failing, but I am trying to keep in mind that progress comes from taking risks and trying new things. I know that it's important to celebrate the small victories along the way and not to compare myself to others, but rather to focus on my own journey towards self-improvement.I am hoping this year will be a journey of self-discovery and growth for me. I know that stepping out of my comfort zone will continue to be challenging, but I am committed to pushing myself towards new experiences and opportunities that will help me to become a better version of myself.If you are also looking to step out of your comfort zone and try new things, I encourage you to take the leap and give it a go. Remember that progress takes time and effort, but it's worth it in the end. Let's support each other on our journeys towards personal growth and self-improvement!
