10 Life Lessons Learned From Running

Seems fitting today after my 6+ mile run in this amazing Fall weather! I didn't start to enjoy running until college; now it's a form of therapy for me. It allows me to release everything I've been holding inside and really feel in tune with my body! 



10 Life Lessons Learned From Running: 

1. Beginning is always the hardest part. Push yourself to keep going. It gets easier.

2. Consistency creates habits, and habits create the results to want to achieve.

3. If you want to get better, pain is unavoidable. Don't shy away from it.

4. If you don't get out of your comfort zone, you'll never achieve your goals.

5. People who do things better than you are your teachers, not your competition.

6. Often, thinking you can't go on any longer is a illusion. You often can.

7. Sometimes things don't go as planned. Accept it and move on.

8. When you're going uphill and you want to quit, don’t. Move slower if you have to, but keep going. You will get there.

9. Happiness shouldn't be put on hold until you cross the finish line. Enjoy as much as you can along the way, even when the going gets tough.

10. Don’t let your desire for improvement rob you of pride in small victories!

Crossing Bridges

Photo from my run this morning. I love running across this small suspension bridge over the river! Reminds me of life. Unstable, wobbly, and a little scary. As you look over the edge you can see the water below. Flowing, calm, peaceful. Life can be a mix of both.

Barriers



I came across this last week when I was doing some trail running in Minneapolis. Made me think about life and how we routinely come across obstacles in our paths. Whether big or small we make decisions on whether or not to: turn back around to avoid it and take a different path, ask someone to help us clear it away, jump over it for now until we encounter it again, or attack it head-on by ourselves. What do you typically do? It takes strength to attack problems on our own. Do you ask God for help or bring in the professionals? Sometimes all we need to do is ask for help and we can conquer whatever may stand in our way!

Serenity

I went for a run outside this afternoon . As I began my run, I didn't anticipate all that I experienced. The wind blowing through my hair, my body beginning to respond to movement, I felt alive as I always do when I run - surrounded by Gods beauty. The trees, flowers, the sound of all of the wildlife around me. My mind cleared and as I focused on pushing my body further I felt exhilarated, and I felt Gods presence... It was, for lack of a better word, uplifting!

As my run came to an end and I began to approach my apartment, a part of me didn't want it to end - although my body and lungs were telling me otherwise - I loved the feeling of a peaceful solitude, something that I don't know that I had ever experienced before. Maybe I am growing up and becoming my own, becoming independent or hopefully more confident to be by myself and not have the need to be surrounded by chaos. Aloneness is underrated!

My outlook today is amazing for some reason... I must have woken up on the right side of the bed! it probably helps that things in life right now are going really well, I do love being in a happy mood, I think that I am going to choose to be happy more often!

I am feeling quite inspirational today, and my mind is racing from one place to another with some fabulous thoughts, I just don't know how to get them out in a verbal way, so I will just smile and keep them to myself for once!

I am finally doing the position at work that I was originally hired to do!!  I am so excited! I feel appreciated, and know I have worked my way up and proved that I am a hard worker and dependable! I love my marketing position and being out in the community promoting health and wellness! I am able to utilize my creativity and passions and love meeting new people!! There is so much more to come!! I even found the perfect outfit for my sister's bachelorette party! I ran by Cliche, a designer clothing store in Uptown and saw a green romper in the window. I ended up going back after my run and purchasing it!! Spent too much money but when I tried it on it fit like a glove like it was made especially for me!! :-)
