So, Marc Took Me Out To Face One Of My Fears Today: Single-track Mountain Biking. . Double-track Dirt?

So, Marc took me out to face one of my fears today: single-track mountain biking. 🌲. Double-track dirt? No prob. But single-track?? Those trees are too close! Shouldn’t there be warning signs about those turns? And my goodness, watch out for those roots! 😮. . Can I tell you how awesome it is to have a partner who doesn’t let on if he minds when you decide to walk certain parts of the path? Who tells you he just wants you to take it easy so your first attempt is a pleasant one? That helped so much! 😍. . And what also helped was me giving myself permission to do it on my terms. To push myself just enough and to still recognize where I needed more skills to stay safe... and to not care what anyone else on the trail thought of me. For me, that was huge. 👍. . Did you do anything physical outside your comfort zone this weekend? Or did you have a moment that let you get over what other people think and just enjoy being in your body? 😊 . #bike #mountainbike #getoutside #optoutside #playoutside #thisiswhyiworkout #bodypositive #freedom (at Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park)

What if your goals were less about how the world sees you superficially (wealthy, skinny, etc.) and more about the better person you aspire to be? More about being kinder, being more brave, being a more giving member of society in your everyday life?... Can you imagine how you’d inspire others to do the same?.... And can you imagine how more at peace we’d all be? 💕

Truth.

“Stop overthinking!”

Do you shout this to yourself, too? I’m reading “The 5-Second Rule” and now more than ever in my head I hear, “Go! Just GO!” It’s hard sometimes to get past self-doubt, perfectionism, and all that other self-inhibiting garbage. So many opportunities for richer connections, better health, and more success are lost when we wallow in indecisiveness and often, ultimately, in inaction.

Today, take some small step toward something you want that will make your life better. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to happen.

What will it be?

One of the words often glossed over in these memes is “growth.”

Yes, be with people who are fun, people who support you, sure...

but also choose people who encourage and inspire you to be better.

“So what” is another way to say “It is what it is”, or “I accept it, and it has no power over me.”

It is said that it is our resistance to the truth of the situation that causes us more pain. Once we acknowledge it with non-judgemental honesty can we let go of its power over us.

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That’s one of my favorite things to say. So what.”
