Regardless, I’m Enough - How to Love Yourself From The Inside Out In The Obsessive Fitness Industry & Social Media Age
In today’s episode, we get the inside scoop about body image and how to love yourself from the inside out from a fitness influencer herself, Remy Kam. With over 8 years of group fitness and trainer experience, Remy has held roles for industry-leading brands like Tone It Up, Therabody, Equinox, and Parsley Health. Remy is currently a Vuori Clothing Collaborator, Barry’s Trainer, Bodyrok Instructor, Personal Trainer, fitness and wellness influencer, and the founder of her new fitness App, KORE by Remy. Remy gets raw with us about her personal experience with body image and love as a fitness trainer & influencer who is in this world 24/7. This episode is a reminder that even the “perfect” influencers you see on social media share a very similar experience with us all. You'll leave this episode knowing that your worth does not come from what you eat in a day, how much you work out, or what you look like, but WHO YOU ARE. Remy and I get real about what REALLY MATTERS and how you can start to put social media into perspective and turn inward. Our value does not come from your body but from within. Lastly, Remy shares what it was like for her to step aside from her 9 to 5 job to pursue a career in content creation as a fitness trainer. She opens up with us about some of the obstacles and opportunities she has experienced thus far in the world of entrepreneurship, hopefully inspiring you all to go after what you really want. Syllabus Steps: ZEN ZONE: Create the time and space for yourself to pause and turn inward. For example, light some candles put on soothing music and take out a journal. Writing your feelings out on paper rather than typing is a great way to release and work through emotions. Remy’s Favorite Journal: The Five-Minute Journal ACTIVE REST AND RECOVERY: Lymphatic massage, physical therapy, swimming, OR walking. Movement in the sun > PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY > OBSESSIVE FITNESS REGIME: Educate yourself on what’s most healthy and sustainable for your body. Rest days are necessary. Pause and listen to what your body is needing. Stretch. Your fitness journey is yours and is not going to be comparable to anyone else on Instagram. YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY: Your value and who you are come from within! Recognize the difference you make in others’ lives. Look to your friends - ask them what their favorite thing about you is. I promise you it won't be because of the way you look. Create affirmations that remind you of your worth (i.e. I am thankful for my body’s strength, I listen to my body, I give my body what it needs, my body is a miracle) WRITE A THANK YOU LETTER TO YOUR BODY: This might feel weird, but I promise it helps. Start by envisioning each part of your body and ask yourself, “what does this body part do for me?” Creating a physical copy of how your body cares for you (whether you care for it or not) can feel empowering and grounding. ASK FOR HELP: Leverage and utilize your network for support. Ask questions and stay curious. Call the people you need, you are not alone on this journey.
