All or Something?
From 2012-2019 I religiously went to a local Bootcamp. I went ALL THE TIME at 6am… I’m not a morning person at all – and only strayed when I injured my ankle- but always went back. This is a big deal because I hadn’t been a big exerciser since I swam in high school. 🏊🏼♀️ This class and that group was my THING.
💥 Then March 2020 happened. It rocked my world to lose my workouts. What I had started as a thing for physical health had become a thing for my mental health.
🧘🏻♀️ Trying to regain my sanity, in the early pandemic months, I would walk around my neighborhood – not having much energy for anything intense. But, I would end up resentful that I wasn’t doing more. I kept vacillating between the all or nothing mindset.
Well, it’s been almost a year now… and I am still just walking as exercise. And you know what… I’ve learned a few things:
1️⃣ Something is better than nothing.
2️⃣ I see things in my neighborhood I had never noticed before (like plants growing out of a pink wall #miamiliving).
3️⃣ Sometimes low intensity is A-OK… and that’s applicable to business and life.
Have you made peace with ‘something’ this year too?
