May & June Dump:

These past couple of months, I've been thinking a lot about self-esteem.

How it and confidence leads to a greater sense of agency, which is ultimately beneficial to oneself, the people in one's life, and society at large. Self esteem makes you more reliable to others.

Then there is trust and worthiness- Self-esteem is the believing that your perceptions, judgments, intuition and actions are worth trusting. This is earned trust.

It reduces the potential for resentment and passivity. Resentment flourishes when people perceive themselves as unable to make meaningful choices.

People can achieve greater interpersonal depth with one another when there is a foundation of healthy self-esteem. Where there is more self-esteem, there is greater alignment with one's values and greater truthfulness to oneself and others. Where there is more agency, there is more empowerment. More empowerment means more responsibility, and strong self-esteem makes that responsibility feel attractive instead of threatening.

Then there is physical agency in addition to psychological agency, both profound, powerful, and interconnected in such a way that they become almost indistinguishable.

I could not have anticipated that it would take me until 31 years of age to feel this kind of self-esteem.

One quote that has stayed with me is:

"Self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself."

I got 3rd place in my class (True Novice) at my first bodybuilding show!!! 🐴🐴🐴

This is an incredibly rewarding and fascinating sport.

I’m overwhelmingly thankful for some of my friends who have been such critical parts of my journey to get here.

Firstly, to @shreddynep who supported me so much in understanding so much of the technical side to posing, body composition, mindset and preparation. I have no clue where I’d be without his graciousness and passion.

To @sravyabas who I has inspired and encouraged me so much to be tenacious, curious and to be enjoying myself all the while.

To my friends @tobi.wan.kinobi and @chandlerooms who used their Saturday to support me at my competition and whose words of encouragement made me feel so loved and supported.

To @jenx_liu who was kind enough to lend her ballet knowledge to me so that I’d have more technical grace with my posing and be less stiff.

To @leonsbench_emporium who helped build the technical foundation for my training upon which I have gotten to this point of muscle development.

And to my mom and brothers who have been very loving and supportive of my aspirations.

For me, I got 3rd and I was happy with that because bodybuilding is fair, it's one of the few pursuits where effort, discipline, patience, knowledge and self-awareness are reflected directly in the outcome. Every decision for every workout, every meal, every hour of sleep is compounded into the end result. The body truly does keep the score.

In this process, I have developed a more tender relationship with myself- because I’ve had to coach myself. I have more rapport with myself now which has resulted in more self-esteem, self-respect and self-love.

It is an enormous privilege to be able to do this sport. I am so grateful.

Till the next show in the fall 😈

From 310 lbs to the NPC stage.

4th place in my first Men’s Physique show. 🏅

This journey taught me that your current circumstances do not determine your future. When you believe in your potential, you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.

Rewrite your story. 💪🏽🦏
