Trust Us, This Badass Quote Will Be Your New Mantra
Taking care of yourself is easier said than done. So often we put our prescribed roles first, whether that be mother, sister, partner, or friend. We're so busy striving to be the best at each of these things, it's easy to neglect ourselves in the process.
During a recent Adidas women's panel I attended, I was reminded of how important it is to think of your own well-being and to do this often. As Robin Arzon - Adidas ambassador, ultramarathoner, and Peloton instructor - passionately told us, "Self-care is the most selfless act you can do for everyone who encounters your energy. You are going to be a better sister, a better partner, and better co-worker."
As Robin put this thought out to us, it became clear to everyone listening that you can't come close to being great in any role if you forget yourself in the process. Self-care is not an indulgence or something to feel guilty about - it's a necessary action for being and feeling our best. And as women, we shouldn't have to make any apologies for this. Be OK with posting a post-workout selfie. Be unapologetic about wearing your workout gear all the time. And don't feel the need to defend the time you take for yourself at the gym, meal prepping, or meditating.
And in those moments that the guilt creeps in or you find it hard to justify "the luxury" to yourself, remember this mantra that Robin shared with us: "You are the CEO of your body and you should be boss about that sh*t."
It's a thought I've come back to several times since that day and what has pushed me through workouts where I feel like giving up, or worst, where I beat myself up for not being somewhere else. Think of the kind of #girlboss you want for yourself or the kind you would want to be to someone else. Now say to yourself, "I am the CEO of my body and I'm going to be boss about that sh*t."
