Physical Push: Respect Your Body

Pushing yourself is powerful — it's how we grow.

But real power?

It comes when you push from a place of respect.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us started treating our bodies like something broken that needs constant fixing.

"Lose weight."

"Build more muscle."

"Look better."

Sure, goals are great. But man, it's way too easy to slip into treating yourself like you're never enough.

Here's the thing:

Your body has already gotten you through every bad day, every heartbreak, every adventure you didn't think you could survive.

It deserves gratitude, not judgment.

Push — But Push With Kindness

Pushing doesn't mean punishing.

Pushing means listening, respecting, and challenging yourself because you love your body — not because you hate it.

It looks like:

• Doing that extra rep but knowing when real pain (not just discomfort) says "stop."
• Running hard but resting when your knees need a break.
• Wanting to get stronger while still celebrating every ounce of strength you already have.

Rest isn't weakness.

It's wisdom.

Taking care of yourself isn't lazy.

It's strength in a different language.

Your body is not a battle to win.

It's your teammate.

Treat it like the miracle it is.
