VAHVA is a Finnish word which means Strong, Powerful, Thick. People often ask me ....”are you part Finnish?” Haha, no I am not. I came across “vahva” during a trip to Scandinavia years ago and it resonated with me since. .
.
What is STRONG?
.
.
• to have physical power
.
* to be able to rise from adversity
.
* to be able to choose thoughts of courage, fearlessness, thoughts of love despite your exterior conditions.
.
* to be able to create the life you choose
.
.
These to me define strength. My hope is to inspire others to Choose Strong both in and out of the gym environment. I love lifting heavy ass weights , but what is physical strength without emotional strength and mental toughness? Let’s strive to have both

VAHVA - choose strong
✨
My life took a detour at the end of 2018 and I’ve been on a path to self discovery since then. During my lowest moments, my darkest times, times of deep sorrow and loneliness, there was no other choice for me but to be strong. .
.
Life does not always run smoothly and along the way we may be confronted with roadblocks, faced with obstacles, challenges which are so overwhelming that we can never ever imagine getting through it all. .
.
Yes, take the time to process everything and allow yourself to feel the pain and go through the emotions that come with the fear of uncertainty. This is all a healthy and necessary part of the healing process.....But......DO NOT stay there!!
.
I see things this way. You ONLY have 2 options: .
.
1. Stay down .
.
OR
.
2. Get the f**k back up! .
.
And I choose the latter.
.
Strength comes in many forms. But what is physical strength without emotional strength and mental toughness? Let’s strive to have the both!

CHOOSE STRONG always
Everyone should have an experience like this with their child. The best day.
Rim to rim at the Grand Canyon. 24 miles, along with all the climbing down in and back up out of the canyon.
So awesome to watch her strength, courage, heart and enduring to the end.

I’ve been to the point of thinking that I would never recover. That it was just who I was. When I slipped up, it just confirmed my belief. But it’s just that - a BELIEF. Beliefs CAN be changed and only by YOU. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our journeys are canvases that we can paint over if we don’t like a certain area. The memory will be there but we can start new. You can start new, as many times as you need to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are the creator of your journey. If you want to change, you will. And it will not be an easy road and it will not be a steady progression. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you believe you will never recover, then you won’t. If you are stuck in negative thoughts, you will attract negativity. If you surround yourself with positivity and attract positive thoughts, beautiful things will happen! Compost turns into life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So wipe off that dirt, get yourself up mentally and physically and MOVE forward, Warrior. RAWWRRR! ⚔️
