Coping is hard and there is no one right way to do it. And, sometimes, you need different methods for different states of mind. My mom took me to some work out classes over break and I was inspired by some of the teaching methods – they each reminded me of something a little different.
Barb: I’m proud of you for doing exactly as you can, you are good enough just as you are. You’re doing the best you can and that’s enough. Keep going.
Mariana: You are better than you think you are! If you push yourself, you will achieve so more! Do better and you will be better – don’t stop!
Brook: Infuse every fiber of your being with positivity and you will amaze yourself with the results. Do something that the you two minutes from now will be proud of.
Sometimes you need Barb to reassure yourself that you’re doing the best you can and that’s enough.
Sometimes you need Mariana to push yourself to be better – it’s easy to settle for what you think you are but maybe you can be better than you think.
And some days you need Brook to remind yourself that positivity is a strong as hell sword – with it, you can fight the monsters in your head.
I’ve needed Mariana recently. Who do you need?

Morgan,
Wow! I needed you to write these messages. You are so insightful and intuned to these messages while dying/working out. You have inspired me to listen to their messages while getting killed, in a good way. I think that’s why we all go back bc of the messages you have written down for us to hear but didn’t hear in the work out classes & the endorphins it gives after! Thx for your written messages in their messages!

As a group fitness instructor, sometimes we really want our participants to know that we need them just as much as they need us.
This is a prime example. All it took was one class and I will now forever have these words to refer back to as a reminder of why I do what I do and to give me a boost when I’m feeling overwhelmed or defeated. Thank you so much for writing this and for sharing such an important message that we all need different people in our lives for different reasons. We are all in this together ❤️❤️❤️
