While many focus on romantic love this Valentine’s Day, Tigernu PH wants to highlight a different kind of love, one that’s just as special and important: the love we have for ourselves through fitness. Bella Dominguez, a dedicated bodybuilder, shares how her fitness journey has shaped how she gives and receives love, making it a beautiful reminder that self-care and strength are forms of love too.
For Bella, bodybuilding is more than just building muscle; it’s about learning to honor her body and mind. “Bodybuilding has taught me that self-care requires significant dedication and effort. I’ve invested greatly in my physical well-being, and as a result, I recognized the importance of honoring my efforts by demanding nothing less than what I deserve,” she says. “On the other hand, my experience in personal training instilled in me the values of patience and compassion to others.” This mindset of self-love has empowered her to set healthy boundaries and embrace her strength in every way.
But Bella’s journey isn’t just about loving herself, it’s also about the love she shares with others. As a personal trainer, she’s learned the power of patience and compassion. “Through training others, I’ve learned how to connect deeply and support them on their fitness journeys,” she shares. “It’s about helping them see their potential and showing them love and care along the way.”
Bella’s story is a beautiful reminder that love doesn’t have to be about romantic gestures. It’s about caring for ourselves, respecting our bodies, and spreading positivity to those around us. This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate all kinds of love, especially the love we nurture through fitness, self-care, and the kindness we give to others.
