The only person you should compete against is the person you were yesterday. It’s easy to look at other people and even past versions of yourself and get discouraged that you’re not where you want to be. It was so humbling coming back to diving and not being able to do “normal” dryland exercises that I’ve done since I was a kid. The first day made me want to cry. It felt impossible to get back to where I was but I promised myself I wouldn’t compare and just keep working hard everyday. I’m still nowhere close to where I was but in just a couple weeks my body has adapted so much. Today, just being able to do 3 hanging pike ups felt like such a big win and something I could be proud of. Reminder for whoever else needs to hear this: Nothing happens over night, it’s one day at a time. Don’t worry about where you’re starting from just start and try to be a little better everyday. #pushyourimpossible #postpartum #diving #mondaymotivation #momlife
