Wow, this is weird! First video in a while... Today i talk about life and the importance of taking care of YOURSELF and living for you instead of living for the gym. I hope you all enjoy!
Tessa, I think gymnasts, competitive dancers and other athletes have similar problems. Congrats on thinking it out and putting life first! Luv your attitude!
You are truly inspiring. I know I may be new to this channel but I can learn that you've went through difficult obstacles and challenges in your life. And I gotta say your right that life is precious, and it's our responsibility of how we use it. And enjoy the ones that we love and cherish. May God bless your life and help you to keep moving forward.
Notification squaaaaad 💪🏼💪🏼 just finished watching the video and dang I've actually been going through basically the same thing you've been going through. I too put the gym before everything else in my life for the past few years. I recently started to let myself be a little bit more "loose" with things and I've noticed I'm a lot more happier since I spend more time with the people that I love :)
Hey Tessa. Listening to you is like listening to my life story 😂 I'm only 19 and been out of school for almost two years and the group of friends I had hung with i no longer see either. Except for one since we both have a common interest in motorsport. There's nothing more that I love than being in solitude, being alone and just studying anything and everything. I have a passion for knowledge and wisdom and I exercise hours daily because of how it makes me feel (although I am unemployed 😂). What I found striking is how we both like solitude and ended up with little to no friends after graduation. If I'm a testament to anything it's that it gets much easier because you learn how life works by being on your own. You have so much more to give. And yes, it does get easier. Your so young and have been through many struggles, dark times, and without these you could not know the light. And a light onto others is what I believe you will become :)
I hope you know how incredible you are! I love how real you are, thank you for helping us all really come to terms with enjoying life and not always focusing on becoming "shredded" or gaining more muscle! I hope to one day meet you because you are such an inspiration and are changing peoples lives! xoxoxo
I love that look when you say you'll see Tyler on the weekends. So cute! It's fantastic that you have found someone who reflects to you that wow factor that you deserve to feel. You have been elite in all aspects of your life, and even when you seemed to be crashing, your elite mind-set allowed you to overcome it all. Now, you can be amazing in a new life. With new goals and relationships. And whenever you feel lost or like you're crashing, look back on this journey and be reminded that you are ELITE!
Tessa, you are an amazing girl. There's no right path in life, everyone has their own goals. It's important to take time for yourself and time for friends. I hope you stay healthy, both physically and mentally. You're not selfish for going after your own goals, not dedicating ALL your time to friends is not a selfish act. It is important to support your friends but it is equally important for your friends to support you. Everyone has a different work/life balance. It's just a way to say "How much time should I spend with friends? How much time should I spend on myself?" You've proven you have a strong personality and there are people who will admire that and others that will be jealous. I think you have a good head on your shoulders to know what best to do, and sometimes lessons need to be learned by doing what's wrong first. Again, I hope you stay healthy, both physically and mentally!
Damn this is such a powerful video I can see your brain thinking in your face. Just deep personal reflection.. it’s crazy. I can relate to you in this video so much it’s unbelievable. I can truly see what you were going through. I just finished one of your new videos and I’m glad your still pushing! Hi from Ottawa! P.s biggest fear is like throwing up .. so like I feel you ;)
Tessa, as a student about to enter my last semester, I can somewhat relate to what you went/are going through. I don't do bodybuilding, but I have other interests (for me, learning to play drums or playing competitive dodgeball) that I have to put on hold until I graduate. I used to put all of my effort into just school, just dodgeball, or just hang out with friends. I found myself totally miserable all the time, no matter what I focused on. This summer I took a 9 hour schedule aka too much damn school for 2 months. I had no choice but to put a little effort into everything, rather than just focus on school. Turns out that worked for me, I am making the same grades I usually make, plus I get to play dodgeball and be with friends. Above all, I am not miserable or overwhelmed. I find every human craves balance in his or her life. For your case, if you just go to the gym and put all other things on hold, it's only natural that you will feel like dogcrap. All work and no play makes Tessa a dull gal 😁
Honestly congratulations. You are ahead of the game of life. Most people don't realize what you have just admitted to until their 30s. So bravo on your positive attitude and being able to realize what life is about. And you absolutely can have it all. You can have your friends you can have your life and you can have the gym and you can have your career. You just need to learn how to balance it and once you do that live on!! ❤️
Tessa its good that you came to that realization as some one who was influenced by you to start hitting the gym I can say always do what u want first the gym will always be there from open to close but life is limited
Good for you. As you grow older your priorities change. Healthy lifestyle and family are both great but family is everything and fitness is just fitness
I bodybuild (worked out, trained,) for 12 years like this, and I realized that "bodybuilding life style = antisocial life". I'm glad that thou hast taken far less time than I took to realize that! I wish the best in this new phase of thy life. I also wish thou wilt find a health balance between these two ways of living thus thou wilt never stop training, making these lovely videos, and above all: never stop loving thyself for loving someone else. Please remember: "Balance is the key" Sincerely Ace
this is a sad day for your fans, but it is a great day for you, life is about happiness, you have grown a lot as a person and you have realized what you want for your life, go and enjoy it, go and share with your love ones and be happy, you deserve it, as always you have all our support, enjoy your life Tess :-)
Take care of your mental health. When you're 17 you can take anything. You think one day I will be on my own and don't have to deal with anything but all the shit you repress always comes back to get you. That's my tip. I'm 29 and my brain and emotional state is erratic at best. When I was 17-19 I saw so much bad shit but somehow I got through it, just ignored everything. Wasn't a good idea.
You are such a sweet child Tessa. I'm glad to see that you've posted again. I was afraid that after your last video that you might have stopped posting because of the negativity others sent your way. The most important thing you can ever do for yourself, is to be happy. You're a smart kid and you'll do fine with whatever you do. As far as all the other stuff goes, "To everything - turn, turn, turn There is a season - turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything - turn, turn, turn There is a season - turn, turn, turn." From Turn Turn Turn by Pete Seeger Be happy sweetheart.
takes dedication because you'll see massive results if you play it by the year. every year take a picture of your progress and then take two of those pictures and put it together and see how much has changed
well, I'm varun,one of followers in Instagram, first of all congrats for your graduation,you are awesome 👏👏,best of luck for future endeavors, hope to see your smile again in videos 😊,
Tessa 2 minutes into the video and I'm thinking damn this girl has some beautiful eyes. I recommend this video to people unable to make proper eye contact #PracticeMaterial
Obsessing over being in perfect gym shape seems to drop off after age 25, generally. Those who will do it for a lifetime, in a reasonable quantity only stays with a few individuals. The passionate figure out how to keep the important parts of their exercise routine in their lives.
as long as you have 2 hours to workout a day 5 times a week your good just dont skip any meals. Eat whatever you want have fun just make sure to do cardio have fun when having a cheat meal cx
YOU ARE SO BRAVE. you're moving forward and that's so incredible. ❤️
Thanks girl!!
Tessa, I think gymnasts, competitive dancers and other athletes have similar problems. Congrats on thinking it out and putting life first! Luv your attitude!
Well explained Tessa. Balance is the most important thing in life. All the extremes and excesses are not healthy.
You are truly inspiring. I know I may be new to this channel but I can learn that you've went through difficult obstacles and challenges in your life. And I gotta say your right that life is precious, and it's our responsibility of how we use it. And enjoy the ones that we love and cherish.

Now, you can be amazing in a new life. With new goals and relationships. And whenever you feel lost or like you're crashing, look back on this journey and be reminded that you are ELITE!
this is an example of mental burnout... just take more easy your gym life. as you said, there is no rush.
and welcome to adulthood...
Tessa, you are an amazing girl.

Im glad you found your balance!! :)
Tessa Barresi Thanks. Hope you find yours! I'm going to need to find it again next week. Fuckin' finals...
Honestly congratulations. You are ahead of the game of life. Most people don't realize what you have just admitted to until their 30s.

I absolutely love this. Thank you for being honest and real.
Tessa its good that you came to that realization as some one who was influenced by you to start hitting the gym I can say always do what u want first the gym will always be there from open to close but life is limited
Solitude is extremely important to me so I can definitely relate.
Another amazing video and message, i love you !
Thanks girl, love ya too

Be happy sweetheart.
I hope one day I will be like you.. so strong and this but the problem is I'm only 12..
Start to train today and you will get strong before you even know it! :D
