“You got this, girl!”
“I am proud of you.”
“Stop shuffling your feet, babe.”
“Put your head up.”
“Keep moving forward.”
These are all things I mentally or even sometimes
verbally (yep I’m that crazy runner talking to herself) say when I am on a run/jog/walk/crawl.
When I am on a long run, I am usually by
myself. I need a shirt that says “Does
not run well with others”. J Sometimes those long runs get lonely,
daunting, L-O-N-G.
I think this relates to our lives in general. I hope you are like me and you are blessed
with an amazing support system. This may
be family, friends, co-workers, your spouse, human children, furry children, etc. Even so sometimes you are alone – physically,
socially, or mentally. There are times
you have to motivate/support yourself.
Have you told yourself “I am proud of you!”
lately? It might seem cheesy, but I
think it is important. I am a fan of
“counting your blessings” when you are feeling down. Instead of counting blessings today, maybe think
of your efforts lately. When I am really
struggling, I try to think of a few things I have done well recently.
Some examples –
“I am proud of you for washing the dishes.”
“I am proud of you for working out when you wanted
to go home after work.”
“I am proud of you for making time to talk to ____
today.”
“I am proud of you for holding your tongue and not
saying what you were thinking.” :)
“I am proud of you for getting out of bed this
morning!”
It is so easy to think about what we haven’t done,
what we did wrong, what we aren’t good enough at, etc. A lot of times these thoughts occur in our
heads and we don’t voice them to others, which is completely human. In those situations, we have to be our own
cheerleaders. We have to support and
motivate ourselves.
YAY YOU! GO YOU! YOU GOT THIS! ROCK IT!
Buzz Ya Later,
Whit
