Strong body = Strong mind.

Until a month ago, I’ve never been able to do a single pull up. I can finally do an underhand chin up. Next, I’ll work on overhand pull ups. Makes me feel empowered!
Our bodies tell us when something is wrong. In thi Our bodies tell us when something is wrong. In this video I discuss:
🔹How I was trying to fight my melasma with dermatology treatments and products when the cause was from within - extreme stress and too much alcohol.
🔹 It can take some time for the mind to catch up to the body.
🔹It is difficult to have a healthy mind without a healthy body. I consume many podcasts of mindset leaders. A common denominator of them all? They are fit. 
Hope this helps you! Listen to your body. It always keeps score.
