“Have you ever imagined what could happen if you just start?” she wrote via Instagram in February. “Here’s a bit of my evolution being constant. Not every day I have 100% willpower, but the discipline wins when fatigue builds up, the grind is tight, and the mind wants to sabotage me. Sometimes I need to re-group myself, put my head in the place and focus on where I want to go. I’m still far from where I want to be, but I’m definitely not close to where I started. So I’ve got a tip: just start, you’ll get better along the way! .”
