If the thought of walking into the gym makes your chest tighten and your brain spiral — you’re not broken, you’re human.
Your brain is wired to scan for threats: Who’s watching me? Am I good enough? The gym triggers all three alarms.
Fear isn’t proof you’re weak — it’s feedback.
Intimidation happens when you put others on a pedestal and yourself in the pit.
Level the field → you rise.
Use this before you walk in:
Name it: Who exactly are you admiring? What trait?
Own it: Where/when have you shown that trait (in your way, in your values)? Stack examples.
Balance it: List the “worst case” drawbacks of going… then 3–5 benefits of each “bad” outcome. Fear loses its grip.
