HOW I OVERCAME GYM ANXIETY ↓ at the beginning of your fitness journey, gym anxiety is completely normal!! you’re thrown into a brand new environment, surrounded by new people, and by machines that you don’t know how to use YET lol. i get it, it can definitely be overwhelming at the start, but it does get better i promise. 🤞🏼 when i first started working out, i was overwhelmed with the feeling that others were watching and judging me. i reminded myself that everyone is just like me, in the sense that they are only focused on themselves and how they look. they are too busy worrying about themselves to worry about you and what you are doing. this definitely helped me relax and feel less anxious. for me, music makes me feel safe. i practically listen to music 24/7. investing in good headphones and creating a good workout playlist helped me feel wayyy less anxious in the gym. it clears my mind from outside distractions and helps me get locked in. personally, i HATE working out alone. i love having someone there to push me harder during my workouts and to laugh with in between sets. having a gym buddy makes working out 10x more enjoyable and helps me feel less anxious. lastly, it just takes time. the gym is now a safe place for me, i had to push through that initial discomfort in order to get finally get comfortable. i believe in you, don’t let that temporary anxiety/discomfort hold you back! 🩵 @gymshark code ANNABEL @alpha.lion code ANNABEL @helimixco code ANNABEL #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #healthylifestyle #gymlife #gymmotivation #muscle #fitnessmodel #exercise #girlswholift #fitnessinfluencer #instagramreels #explorepage #gymgirl #fitnessinspo #gymcrush #gymrat #gymsharkathlete #workoutwithme #girlcrush #gymaesthetic #gymtipsforbeginners #gymgirls #musclemommy #gymsharkwomen #strongwomen
