Bodybuilder, IFBB Pro, and powerlifter Marianna Gasparyan is a strong competitor. “Absolute Power over your abilities. No limits #absolutepower #nolimits #outside #beyond #strong #powerful #powerfullwomen,” she said on Instagram on photos of her looking confident in the gym. Here’s how she stays in great shape and remains focused on accomplishing her goals.
She knows that being confident and having the mental strength to match the physical is important. “Being a woman in an ideal body and spirit is not at all difficult and even incredibly pleasant. You are just who you allow yourself to be,” she said on Instagram, on a video of her posing. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “whether it’s going up, down or hovering somewhere in the middle, our self-esteem impacts how we view ourselves. Self-esteem is an important building block for many things: Our confidence in our abilities, our sense of self-worth and how we compare ourselves to others.”
She focuses on improving one day at a time and takes moments to recognize her progress during her fitness journey. On Instagram, she said “11 [months] of transformation, 11 [months] of hard work ✌🏼💪🏽,” on a video of her showing off her strength and muscle tone.
She believes in herself and trusts the process. “The universal recipe for success, the formula for success is believing in yourself. As simple and cliche as this may sound, it’s actually incredibly difficult to follow because life constantly reminds you that you’re not as successful or as talented as you think you are. With every failed attempt, that belief gets shaken and weakens. But you have to learn to overcome that feeling and keep believing in yourself,” she said on Instagram.
She appreciates every moment, enjoying life. “Today you are the oldest you have ever been, but at the same time you are the youngest you will ever be, so never focus on age and just allow yourself to enjoy every moment of your wonderful life,” she said on Instagram on a slideshow of photos.
She focuses on self discipline. “Hunger control is not just about food, it is about willpower and self-discipline. When we learn to control our desires, we gain the ability to achieve success in all beings of life. If you can control your appetite, you can control your destiny. Set goals, work on yourself and watch the world begin to change in your favor 💪 #selfdiscipline #Willpower #Success #Goals #Motivation #selfconfidence #selfcontrol,” she said on Instagram on a before and after side by side photo.
