2. She has faith
She has faith and remains thankful. ““There are moments in life when all we can do is give thanks. Thank God for the strength in the difficult days, for the discipline in the moments of doubt, and for the grace to live every struggle with faith and courage. Today, I look back and see the weight of the battles, the sweat of early mornings, the renunciation that few understand... and I'm extremely thankful for not giving up. Now, here I am, in this moment of much-deserved rest, feeling in my skin the reward of so much effort. Every difficulty was a stepping stone to reach here, and every step reminded me that dreams are possible for those who believe and never stop fighting. This moment is more than just rest; it's proof that with God and determination, there are no limits,” she said on Instagram, translated to english.
3. She’s grateful
She believes in herself and what she’s capable of. “Believing is the strongest superpower there is. It seems like a simple phrase, but it carries a truth that only time and the most difficult moments of life teach us. GRATITUDE 🙏,” she said on Instagram, translated to english.
4. She watches what she eats
She pays attention to what she eats. “Good morning everyone! Good to start my new days with protein pancakes using the liquid egg white and rice cream from @mr.ricecream that I brought from Brazil 🇧🇷I always do it according to the quantities that are in my project, so it is very individual and there are always changes in this. This day was a day of carb up 😍,” she said on Instagram, translated to english.
5. She works her biceps
She works her upper body, especially her biceps. “Ahhhhh that bicep day 💪🏻 🔥 loved it! Forever strap: @horsepower_pro it pulls the weight and doesn't let go anymore,” she said on Instagram, translated to english. According to Harvard Health Publishing, “incorporating arm exercises into your fitness routine is essential for maintaining your strength. But it's also important for healthy movement, stronger bones, better balance, and keeping injuries at bay.”
