A dear friend of mine, Hana Devore, recently defined happiness on a fitness podcast and I absolutely could not agree more with what she said -- "doing what you want to do, unapologetically and not feeling like you have to answer to anybody." It's reaching that point where you truly find yourself--find what you LOVE to do, and just go after it with all your heart.
It took a minute, but I must say I am truly happy, right where I am.
I don't really fit into a stereotypical "fitspo" mold, but I'm totally cool with that. I am me, Cait Robertson, and I love that God made me unique in my gifts and talents. I have a passion to share those with you guys so that is what I will continue to do!
The past few months had some ups and downs. I've decided not to compete. It was a bummer to call that shot, but I realized it was best for me personally. This contest prep attempt took me to a dark place mentally and physically and just straight up did not make me happy. I don't know what I will be doing in the future in that regard, but I'm totally cool with taking it one day at a time. I won't be prepping for a certain date on a calendar, that's for sure. I will simply continue to progress to the best version of ME, keeping health and happiness as my top priority. Having the best coach in the universe to guide me is a definite plus too. :P
So, here's a list of things that do make me happy, things I will continue to do because I LOVE THEM!
1. Sharing God's love
2. Helping people reach their goals
3. Developing recipes
4. Songwriting
5. Progressing in my lifts
6. Building my metabolism
7. Laughing, because nothing in life is that serious
