š£ Catching Flights, Big Feelings
Hand Clam Maxxing
I was sat there.
Clutching a Boots meal deal with hands clammy as hell.
The bloke to my right was muttering prayers like he was negotiating with God directly.
I flew to Poland Thursday to spend the weekend with my best mates, a trip I had been buzzing for
And even Iāve clocked up a chunk of air miles over the years
Every single time those wheels leave the tarmac, my brain decides this is The One.
Thanks to teenage years spent glued to Air Crash Investigations, I am fully convinced a mild wobble of turbulence is actually the opening scene of my own documentary.
Anxiety is a fucking bitch for that.
Itās the fear you canāt see, the danger you canāt prove and it makes you feel completely helpless.
But hereās the real bugger
Travelling feeds my fucking soul

OOooo Sheās cultured xox.
And unless I plan on swimming to Asia, flying is part of the deal.
So if I want the magic on the other side, I have to crack on with ādoing it scaredā
And this runs beyond a Boeing 737ā¦
When I first posted fitness content, I was terrified people would think I was a fucking loser.
Some of them did and you know what? I lived. And my life has got insanely better because of it.
When I first went to the gym, it took me a full year to tickle a dumbbell.
But if Iād waited to feel confident, calm, and fearless? I probably would still be a dumbbell virgin
And fuck, a virgin virgin too š
And if fear is whatās keeping you stuck with working out right now, youāre not broken.
Maybe youāre scared youāll do the movements wrong.
Worried people will judge you for trying.
Terrified youāll fail and everyone will see it.
But I pinky promise you here
You can do hard things and fuck it - your life can feel insanely better by working through it
And if you need support to drag you through the other side to where the gym feels like your playground and you feel fucking boss in your body
