Day 2: Favorite Inspiring Quote



That's the quote.  For today.  And most days I need reminding.   Breath.  Let it go!


Yesterday I had an awesome coaching session with a teacher, athlete, mentor, friend.  He taught me about energy and how to think about balancing:  Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual energy.

He suggested books and articles and I'm eager to learn more.

When it comes right down to it, everything is made up of energy.  Including me.  And balancing that energy - or at least being aware that balancing that energy is an option - could really go a long way!

Physical energy is easy to understand, right?  We move, we walk, we run …

Mental energy is what exert when we think, solve, process information.

Emotional energy is how we express ourselves, connect to others or communicate through our emotions.  Can be self-confidence, self-discipline, sociability and empathy.

Spiritual energy is your connection to your purpose, your values and your sense of purpose.  That's the quiet one for me.  The inner connection to self.

So as mush as physical energy is expressed through a run, spiritual energy can be found through a meditation.  Imagine when it is balanced - a walk through a forest.  That really makes sense to me.

Today I will continue the research how to better balance my energy by learning what makes sense to me.  The beauty of self-discovery is that it is on my terms and digested on my timeline.

So to connect the blog to the theme for today's BLOGEMBER post, this quote is me.  Breathing, and letting go!

Day 16: Six Word Memoir

"Thought about stopping, then ran harder." Day 16 for the Blogember challenge is a 6-word memoir. I could substitute 'ran' for 'tried' almost every day.  Even if for just a brief moment I am paralyzed with fear, confusion, doubt - I press on.  And that is the very best time …. knowing that I still have the power within me to continue to 'fight'. This can be a physical challenge, emotional challenge or just what appears to be a mountain of work to overcome…. whatever it is, if I choose to find a way through it, rather than around it - I'm successful. Happened again this week at work - and my husband reminded me last night.  Why did you let it get you down for two days when you knew they best way to solve it was head-on, with a direct conversation?  He's right.  But I'm not successful with the conversation until I'm mentally prepared to have it.  And yesterday I did.   That's my mantra.  For running, and for l...

Day 4: Freedom

Today's Blogember entry is to write about Freedom. Freedom is one of those words/emotions/concepts that has changed for me over the years.  As I evolved and developed, so has how I view Freedom.  Early on I thought of Freedom as rights that I have as a citizen, the right to choose and how lucky I am to live in a country where Freedom is afforded to me. Fast forward to today.  Freedom to me still is resoundingly around my right to choose.  And those choices are how I see myself, how I choose to present myself to the world.  I have the freedom to make choices that resonate with my soul, and who I choose to be. Freedom is not being attached to all those nay-sayers who come into a life.  With freedom from the dependency of other's approval comes independence and confidence.  The ability to lean in to the life I have been given, carrying the lessons I've learned and the joy that sustains me. It is a purposeful life, one that encompasses freedom....
