I have had many breakthroughs in the last years. Many in the last months. Even more in the last weeks and days.
This morning I had a breakthrough while I was running.
Yes, running. I got back to it last week and it is fabulous!
Each morning I get to practice not judging myself on how far I didn’t go. I only congratulate myself for getting off my butt and doing it.
And, while I was running this morning, I thought to myself, ok, I can stop here. And then I realized something, which was profound to myself…I often give myself permission to do less than I can. Less than I’m capable of. Although I know I’ve had this thought subconsciously many times, this was the first time I can recall it consciously. I felt it in my bones.
I constantly give myself an “out.”
And it’s really not ok anymore. I expect more from myself than that.
So, it may be “easier” to live with feeling I am less than. But it starts with me. It starts with quitting a block earlier than I decided on my run. Then it trickles into not following up with a peer or client…you see where this is going, right?
So today, decide what your goal is and make sure you do everything you can to move towards it.
No more easy outs to stay comfortable.
Amen sista! You go girl!
