More faithful forty practice: There is no ‘try’ there is only ‘do’ One of my pet peeves about myself is my non committal commitment. I’ll say... I’m going to try or I’ll die trying. It’s one way of covering my butt in case my work is sub par or I somehow fail to see something through. God has been teaching me a better way through mindfulness and intention and truly that mentality helps my confidence but it’s also done wonders for my personal growth. This week has been a tough one for pain and exhaustion and in the past I would shut down and legit hibernate in my room with ice, nsaids, and copious amounts of candy crush. Managing my mindset doesn’t magically make the pain and exhaustion go away but it does fire up my determination to get things done in spite of my challenges. With better daily in my pocket and in my heart (cuz y’all know you are), I’ve been rewriting the script in my head a little at a time. I’ve posted on that before in walking thoughts, but y’all sharing your thoughts inspires me in such a way that even when my body quits on me I can keep going mentally in a positive way. Because of the strength I gain from community, from family... I can use my recovery time to formulate strategies to keep pushing forward. I remind myself that I’m not the only one struggling and your gains propel me toward my own. Thank you for that. Don’t be afraid to journal your journey on here. If you are wondering how this works it’s this simple: it works however you need it to. The beauty of the one percent better idea is that the journey is different for each of us, but we aren’t alone in it. The more I put into this the more I gain. I’ve been using my space here as a public journal for accountability and growth but it took me some time to realize that’s what I needed. I also draw strength from your posts, your wins, your journey. Today my walk won’t be counted toward my walk100 because it’s going to prob be another 1/2 mile. I’ve had a lot of little walks like that this month, but I’m crushing my goals... I’m saying yes to more things as far as living goes... And I’m not giving up nor am I giving in. Nutrition: more veggies... you think all this gas would take me places or at least make my walking time faster 😁 Exercise: walking My overall mindset: I ain’t asking where the couch at.... but I am resting on it while I think of how I’m gonna get that walk in today. I will get that walk in 💪
