It’s the time of year again where we stop to celebrate the awesome women who inspire strength and support other women as we strive to make the world a better place. This International Women’s Day, the world is pushing for #EachForEqual and what better way to encourage that than to celebrate our strengths? We’re celebrating our own Myprotein women too by asking them to share what makes them feel strong. Read on for support, inspiration, and self-love.
Stephanie has discovered the power of motherhood
What makes me feel strong is the fact my body carried and grew my beautiful son! I’ve always felt physically strong from weightlifting, but this has given me a whole new sense of the word. THE FEMALE BODY IS AMAZING!
Chelsie will fight for what she wants
What makes me strong is knowing the challenges I’ve already faced throughout life and the person I’ve become through overcoming those challenges. There will always be obstacles to tackle, but with a healthy mind and body you can achieve anything in life. You’ve just got to want it and fight for it.
Chlo tackles fears head on
For me, going into the weights section at the gym after years of being too anxious to go in makes me feel strong and powerful!
Sophie is her own cheerleader
It’s not just lifting heavy weights — an important aspect of becoming a strong woman is being mentally strong. Become your own best friend and telling yourself you can do it daily. If it doesn’t go to plan, tomorrow is a new day to start fresh and you should never beat yourself up about it. You got this!!!
Stephanie won’t ever give up on her goals
What makes me feel strong is my minds inability to give up. When my body feels it physically can’t do something my mind overrides this. I smash it. This in turn reinforces my belief that whatever it is I want to do, I am fully capable of achieving. This is what strength means to me.
Annie knows mental strength takes time and training too
It can take time to become physically strong and with your mental health it’s the same. By going to the gym, surrounding myself with positive people, and doing yoga this has helped me become so strong mentally and physically. I can take my time to think about myself and build self-confidence. It isn’t always about what you look like physically but how this can make you a stronger you within.
Bella takes control of her own happiness
I take control of my life without relying on anyone or anything else. I ensure there is balance in my life by incorporating all of the things I love into my week. When I strike this balance, I feel physically & mentally powerful and like I could conquer and achieve anything.
Amelia banishes all self-doubt
I feel strong when I’ve accomplished something after doubting myself. Be it lifting 5kg more on the squat rack, going to an event and fighting my social anxiety, or even allowing myself to cry when I need too. My sense of strength comes from all domains of life. I am strong when I cry and I am strong if I believe in myself.
Emma shares and celebrates the strength of others
One of the things that makes me feel strong is helping other women to feel good about themselves. I love empowering females to become their best self — whether that’s physically or mentally.
