HAVE THE RIGHT
MINDSET
The contest prep process is supposed to be
for personal growth. It’s a challenge you can
use to become a better version of yourself. So,
please don’t waste time or energy on scrolling
through your social media feeds to check in
on your competition. No one will post a bad
picture and in many cases the pictures are
photoshopped, filtered, or altered in some
way to enhance certain aspects of the
subject.
It’s not worth your happiness to compare
yourself to others, leave that to the judges.
Now, don’t get me wrong - some stress is a
good thing. It’s how we become stronger,
how we build muscle, how we lose bodyfat,
and how we improve. But like anything else,
too much of a good thing can eventually
become a bad thing. And this is so true about
stress during contest prep. So, I hope with the
guidelines I’ve provided here, you can apply
them to your next contest prep and enjoy
only the positive benefits of stress and
minimize the unnecessary drains on you
enjoying a stress-less prep.
