Lately, I’ve been in a running rut, not been able to get out of bed to workout, just not motivated at all. But after a long talk with momma coale and very wise roommate Andy I’ve realized…
I’m just too dang hard on myself.
In a lot of aspects of my life. And it’s taken a total blow on my self confidence. And then I beat myself up about every realm of my life. And then I begin second guessing everything. And feeling lost. And like I have no idea where I’m going. Or what I’m suppose to be doing.
Am I working hard enough? Am I loving my friends well? Am I talking to my family enough? Am I being responsible with my money? Why am I single? Well, why aren’t I doing what she’s doing? And Lord knows we ask ourselves…why don’t I look like her?
Breathe Robyn.
Because enough is enough. And I’ve realized what I’m doing right now is enough. And where I need to be is right here. And staying present and just taking the moment for what it is. And finding joy in today and right now.
Because this is it. And I want to squeeze every last treasure out of this season of life.So I set my alarm for 5 am, pulled on my clothes, got in my car, and met the track club to run.
And it was so refreshing. And empowering. And I’m so glad I did.
It wasn’t a speed workout or a tempo run, just six miles ran at an easy conversational pace talking to my running friends. But that was all I needed. And I came home sweaty and renewed.
And ready for breakfast. So in WIAW fashion, I’ve got some good eats to share- thanks for listening, ya’ll are the best
