Showing up but doing something different

I went to my running class this morning, and I just walked the entire class.

 

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...

I Love Running

Just finished an amazing running class. Just feeling on top of the world after that class.

Going for a walk to relieve stress

Going for a walk doesn't solve the problem but it removes us from the situation so we can calm down and think and react clearly.

 

I go for a walk after all my calls. It helps me do something for myself before continuing on with work stress.

 

Go for more 5-minute walks. They're...

Getting myself to workout today

In an ideal world, I’d always feel excited to go to the gym for my 7pm workout.
 
In the current world, I’m not always excited. But I’m here!
 
How’d I get here? Well after sitting in my living room unable to move, frozen in place thinking about how I should get...

Go for a walk

When you feel shitty, go for a walk.

When you want to exercise but can't make it to the gym, go for a walk.

When you are super frustrated with yourself, your kids, your partner, your job, go for a walk.

 

A 10-minute walk can clear your mind.

Even a 3-minute walk.

Have you ever been on a...

Walking with your mom

Yay, finally! I went on a morning walk with my mom. Back in the early days of the pandemic, my mom and I started walking together. She was in te burbs, and I was in Chicago, but every morning, we'd head out, hop on the phone together, and walk. 

 

Sometimes I'd bring Jameson.

Sometimes...

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Well, I wasn't expecting to wake up to snow, but here we are. 

It was still great to get outside. Just had to wear a coat, boots, hat, gloves, and a scarf. It's the California weather I love, but I'll survive.

Only show up on the days you want to...

If you only show up on the days you want to...

the truth is you (and I) would probably rarely show up. 

We would rarely take action.

 

You're not always going to want to take action.

You're not always going to want to go for a walk or head to the gym or eat some vegetables with your...

Morning Movement

A few weeks ago, Paul and I started doing a 30-45 minute walk in the morning.

I love it because:

1. I get to move my body first thing which is just so crucial for my mental health.

2. I get to start the day by spending time with Paul. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes it is silent. Sometimes we hold...

Running on the weekends

So I have been going to my running class again, which is something I've missed so much since leaving Chicago.

 

The run isn't pretty. I still have a lot of issues with my knee, hip, and now my foot too, but the doctors and PTs have said to not stop, so I do what I can in class.

 

I wish...
