SLP 400: You’ve Got to Push Yourself to be Your Best with Shelly Burton

‘I think you need to just keep turning up until it becomes… something that I like to think to myself is going to training for me is as important as doing my grocery shopping. I need it. It’s part of my life. I need it for my mental health, for my physical health… it’s just part of what you do. But in the beginning, you’ve got to push yourself. When you don’t want to go – as you said getting out of bed, the hardest part is putting your feet on the floor – and then once you’re up grab a coffee or something to eat or go straight there. But once you’re up, and you’re there, it’s not hard at all! It’s just turning up!’ ~ Shelly Burton

Shelly is a 51-year-old wife, mother, full-time worker and bodybuilder.

The most important thing to Shelly is to show up for herself each and every day, so she can be the very best version of herself.

Shelly believes women often put themselves last to make in order to take care of all the people they love, but she questions how do women keep their cups full to overflowing if they aren’t replenishing themselves.

Shelly is proof that you are never too old to change and never too old to fulfil whatever crazy dream you have. Her main message is you just keep turning up!

In this interview, Shelly shares her journey from being a novice athlete to a champion body-builder all through the power of good discipline, a positive mindset and accountability. Shelly believes we all have the ability to be, do, or have whatever we desire as long as we continuously show up for ourselves. She is living proof of what it means to truly commit to oneself and give life all you have for the best and most powerful outcomes.

Her definition of Self Love is just showing up for yourself. It’s loving yourself and being the best version of yourself. If you do that you become the best person for you and those you love. I love being a role model to my daughter and showing if you put your mind to something you can do it.

Her favourite quote is:
‘Just show up for yourself, every day in some way in whatever way that is!’ ~ Shelly Burton
