Your WHYs Boost Your Energy
800 days!
800 days of Morning Miles.
Some were not in the morning. Some were not a full mile.
And yet, how in the WORLD did I manage with a new baby and work and everything to find the energy (!) to walk (almost) every day?
I applied emotional skills. Real skills.
I know myself and one “reason” for walking would not have kept this as a part of my life. I know myself, and if I had set out to do all these consecutive days to “prove I could do it” I would have stopped that day early on I was sick and it wasn’t right for me to walk.
That would have been the end of it.
I need a stack of reasons, ones that speak to Who I Am, Who I Want to Be, and especially what matters to my heart. Without those, I just… won’t.
That goes for fitness. That goes for preparing food for the family. That definitely is true for all the WORK I put into Thriving Now.
It’s why Cathy and I are going to be doing this particular workshop next Tuesday. If you want to Be What Matters you benefit from boosting your energy when it matters… when you are resisting, when it feels “too hard,” and when you Just Don’t Wanna!
Here are the 17 reasons I’ve kept The Morning Mile up for 800 days:
- Vitality Re-activated!
- Expand my energy
- Experience Nature in its weather variations
- Get to be an Explorer
- See and sense what’s around me - sensory awareness
- Feel the earth beneath my feet
- Dance along the trail
- Listen to music
- Unwind my tensions
- Use my stored weight
- Build strength to be able to carry my daughter as she grows
- Process emotions that get clogged in my tissues
- Move lymph to support my immune system
- Have more temperature resilience (so I can enjoy cold, hot, wet, dry weather)
- Maintain my physical and sexual presence
- Have a positive, FUN physical experience I can do each day with an intention for 5000+ steps a day (without overdoing it)
- Live longer and healthier to be alive and vibrant with my partner and children
Looking at this list, I assure you there were days where only ONE of these seemed to matter enough to boost my energy, get me off the couch, shoes on, in the car, and to the trail.
What I know is that if something truly matters to you, you can come up with a list of why’s. When you do, when that list supports you, you get enough of an energy boost to… Be and Do what matters.
I wish that for you. And we’re here deeply and completely to support you in having this kind of thriving in your life, too.
