FEAR - Time to run or rise

Maybe it's too simplistic for how varied life truly is, but if it's a choice between running from something or rising in myself, I'm going to choose to rise.

There is power in running, but only when you run to your goal, or away from whatever will hold you back.

There is not power in avoidance.

I have retreated a bit this winter. Maybe letting some fear settle around me of what I'm capable of achieving. I stopped myself from achieving my own goals through lack of action. I became my own self fulfilling prophecy.

I recently went live in my fit family group about reassessing goals, and if you haven't achieved them then you're not taking the action steps to get there. So either adjust the timeline of expectation, or step up the action to get where you want to be.

I can't achieve what I don't work for, but I can't experience rejection of I don't try. What I'm realizing, though, is that rejection is what you make of it, and I'd rather go for my goal without regret even if rejection happens along the way.

I have goals, plans, dreams (whatever you want to call them) and they are worth my time, effort, and rejection.

From here on, I won't reject myself, I will only rise higher ♡♡♡

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 ...

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...

Why my fitness journey now

I have not always been active. I remember being 7 or 8 and the chubby kid in the neighborhood. My sister and friend decided to try and help me lose the "baby fat" but having me run laps around the cul-de-sac. I didn't last long. Not because I couldn't run, but because I didn't have the motivation they wanted me to have. I didn't see the need to change myself. In junior high I was still holding onto some "baby fat" but I had true friends that liked me for who I was and didn't try to change me to fit a mold. While I had regular subconscious and self conscious thoughts about myself it never went very far. In high school I rediscovered my love of dancing and was able to enjoy it casually as a side environment to the rest of life at the time. It wasn't until university and early adulthood that I started going and enjoying the gym. I found a trainer I really clicked with and found joy in realizing the strength and power of what my body was capa...
