POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

People often ask what I’m training for. Sometimes, yes, I’m signed up for a race or working toward a specific goal. But the truth is, it’s never really been about the competition.

I’m training for life🫀✨🏃🏼‍♀️

I train to be ready physically, mentally, and emotionally for whatever life throws my way. To have the strength to carry myself through the hard days and the resilience to take on any challenge or opportunity that comes my way.

I’m training to become the best version of me. Not just for me, but for my friends, my family, and the life I’m building. ❤️‍🔥

And somewhere along the way, training has given me so much more than just strength. It’s introduced me to some of my favorite people. Friendships built through shared challenges and a mutual pursuit of something greater. 🌎💫⛈️

So no, I’m not training for just one day. I’m training for every day. Because it’s not about a certain event, it’s about who I’m becoming, and who I get to become that with, along the way. 🫶🏻 by @davisrmerrill

There is seriously NOTHING that brings me more joy than watching someone achieve their goals ❤️‍🔥 Especially when they’re freaking EPIC and completely out of their comfort zone.

Showing up matters!! Be there for them, cheer loud, and hype them the FREAK up!

Life is so much cooler when we celebrate each other’s wins! 🫶🏼 by @davisrmerrill

A few things that have helped me avoid BURN OUT 🫠🧠✨

1. MAKE YOUR LONGEST SCHOOL DAY YOUR REST DAY
Trying to wake up early, have a full day of classes, study, AND get a workout in can leave you completely exhausted. Instead make it your rest day and prioritize your energy for another day!

2. PLAN DOUBLE SESSIONS AROUND YOUR SCHOOL SCHEDULE
If you want to get two workouts in, choose days where your classes are more in the middle of the day. That way, you can get something done before school and still have time for another session afterward without cramming everything into one part of your day.

3. HAVE A DAY THAT’S JUST FOR FUN
Give yourself a day to hang out with friends, do something fun, and not feel guilty about it. Fitness should be something that adds to your life not something that leads to burn out!

Plan your week around what you realistically have time and energy for! 🤍

I just turned down $500 😳

I have brands I genuinely love and this just wasn’t one of them. Not every opportunity is going to be worth saying yes to just because it pays!

$500 would’ve been nice…but I’m playing the long game. 🤝

the week leading up to exams can be stressful 🫠 BUT but I’m a strong believer that staying organized + keeping your space clean helps you put more energy into actually learning instead of feeling overwhelmed.

Save this for your next study session or send it to a friend who needs the reminder 🤍 by @davisrmerrill

Day 2 of saving up for PT school! 💸

I seriously can’t thank you guys enough for the support in my last video! I really appreciate every message, comment, share, and person rooting for me 🤍

We’re starting at ground ZERO! So here’s to getting creative, finding a bunch of side hustles, learning the business side of social media, and hopefully saving enough money to help pay for PT school without drowning in debt.
