Most Important Conversation

The most important conversation I had this week…

This picture was taken yesterday at 10:30pm after a brutal and awful training session. I cried through the entire workout, tears rolling down my face after finishing each set. I felt fatigued from lack of sleep over the past week, bloated from overeating the night before, and doubtful that I am producing adequate results. Hours and moments before my workout, I fed myself negative thoughts on why I didn’t want to do the workout, why I didn’t want to do bikini prep, and why I didn’t want to be a winner. I could’ve continued to feel sorry for myself, however, I pushed through. The physical movements shook me out of my numbness and funk, even though my sets weren’t perfect.
We often see athletes or movie stars on stage and enlightening us with their happiness. We never truly know or see what goes on behind the scenes: hard work, sweat and tears, wins and losses, etc. I share my low moment with you NOT to get praise and clout “Oh, Asia, you’ll be fine!” but to showcase the authenticity with bikini prep and with life in general.

Not every day is going to be rainbows and butterflies; some days are going to suck, they’re going to fucking blow. How do you recover from that negativity and push past it? Ask yourself why you started your journey and figure out how to turn that energy into something beautiful. The mind is powerful and will often tell you “no” when in reality “yes” is what you need to hear from yourself. “My hard work, dedication, and sacrifice IS worth it and I am capable of anything I put my mind to!”
