Short post
My mind feels cluttered. I don't know what to write. So I am just writing to check off the box. To show up and do something instead of nothing.
How to make progress
I am currently re-reading Atomic Habits with a client of mine, and this book always hits me where I need it.
Today's chapter said you don't make progress by being in motion. You make progress by actually taking action.
Being in motion is planning things, reading about things,...
Do something small instead of nothing at all
Today I went to my running class and walked the entire time.
Better to show up and do something small than to stay at home and do nothing at all.
Sunday Reflection - Week 1
Welcome to my first Sunday Reflection of the year. This is a workbook page I use with my coaching clients, and I decided it's something I can use for myself too to hold myself accountable to the changes I want to make in 2024.

I was chatting with Paul about how I needed to figure something out. I know I need rest days, but I am someone who struggles with task initiation. If I let myself pick a few days a week to not go to class, it's...
Get Consistent With Mornings
This morning I was writing in my journal about how proud I am of all I've accomplished over the last decade:
-Learning to get myself up and moving on my own in the mornings
-Becoming a runner
-Heck, becoming a journaler
It's these small steps. These small daily actions that get us...
Running in 2024
Just finished my first running class in 2024. I am excited to start the year without goals pressuring me. I am excited to start the year with a sustainable system.
