Lean in


I've heard it said many times lately. Lean in. 

When you don't have support, or understanding, or need guidance. Lean in. 

My team is there to support each other not only in business and fitness, but also in life. They ask us to lean in.

"We are a team and we are all in this together ❤️"

I love the mentality of this. I love being the support for others. Asking for help and opening up about myself does not come easy. It is not natural for me to lean in.

But I am doing it. I am up for the challenge. In myself and in my life. I have realized I have big goals and I can't get there alone. I need to lean in. 

I am ready to accept support from every corner that will offer it. I am not an island, though I might buy one if given the opportunity 😉.

I will lean in and embrace all that life has to offer with the support of my team, my friends, my supporters, behind me ♡

160 Kilometer Challenge

 As defined by the Cambridge English dictionary: Challenge (noun) something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability. We face challenges every day, by choice and circumstance. For the remainder of the year, I am setting myself the challenge of moving 160km (100 miles) of intentional and trackable distance. Not just the amount my FitBit records from everyday life. For me, this is a challenge of  - physical effort - time - accountability and consistency I too often let myself do less than I am able. I make excuses and allow myself to forget my goals (anyone else?) I'll start the month strong, but then "things happen", "life creeps in" and suddenly it's the end of the month and I am no closer to what I wanted to achieve. I am ready for a change, though, in my approach and my results. I am ready to dig deep and do what I know I CAN do, and accomplish what I WANT to, because coming out ...

Update Your Goals

 Even with the best of intentions, and the best-laid plans, sometimes life doesn't go as planned. I started my 160km challenge back in November. I hoped to accomplish most of it before Christmas. I am currently just over halfway through at 85km. Am I disappointed that I didn't do more and accomplish more at the end of 2021? Certainly I am. Am I going to give up on the goal and challenge just because it's taking longer than planned? Certainly NOT! Adjust the plan, and set new intentions. If it was something worth planning for once, and is important to you still, then see it through, even if it takes longer than planned. I feel like that is the theme of 2021 for me. Setting goals that are important, but not accomplishing. So, it's a new day, and that which is still important, is just that. Still important, and therefore still worth working on and towards.  I am committing to myself to not give up, no matter how long it takes to accomplish my goals. Whether it be tracking ...

Time is Relative

Time management  "the process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity.  Wikipedia " For years, I've been congratulated on my organizational skills, on my ability to get things done, to use my time and resources so well as to stand out from the crowd.  I feel like it's always a house of cards. Balancing efficiency with laziness so as to get things done while doing it without a lot of effort.  That balance can only take you so far. Especially if you decide you want to go further, push out of your comfort zone.  "Work smarter, not harder" But what if you already do? To do more still feels harder and off balance since it's still fights against the previous plan.  So how do you change? How do you find a NEW balance, or your first go? Take action.  Seriously.  Focusing on the planning will stop you before you go. It can overwhelm and be the crut...
