We are all writing our own book…the journey of life is different for each and everyone of us. I have many chapters in my book…races, work, family, friends, etc. Lately I feel as though my work chapter is overwhelming and uncomfortable. My family chapter has caused some frustrations lately (NOT with the Iron Hippie…) and I love my friends, but today I chose to focus on my race chapter (lucky for me it also incorporated friends). Each race is a new chapter and each workout is a page in that chapter. I have been fighting a head cold, which has made it a bit difficult to breathe while working out lately, so Monday and Tuesday I chose to leave my workout pages blank. Today, I turned the page. I wrote a page in this chapter by attending hot yoga tonight.and.it.was.AWESOME!! Spending time with friends while getting sweaty was a bonus 😉
What do you put on each of your pages? What do your chapters look like? What does your book reveal about you?
One page, 24 hours, at a time. Nice post Kecia. 😉
Thanks Jim! It gave me perspective that even mid week, I can “turn the page” and start new. I don’t have to wait until a new calendar week starts back up 😉
One day at a time/one workout at a time…and doing the best I can! That is how I went into my training for IM back in February. I think it served me well so I am sticking with it!
That is the best way for me too 🙂
I don’t know! I have never really thought about it!! Maybe each of my chapters is an event: race, vacation, really epic weekend…maybe not so much every day stuff!?!?
It is fun to look at it from a different perspective from time to time 😉
Never thought about it this way:) my work chapter is also causing me stress and making me feel unfulfilled. I need to find a work chapter that makes me as fulfilled as my other chapters in life. I hope you are feeling better now!
I too need to find a new work chapter, but I’m not sure what I would do that would make me feel fulfilled like my other chapters do.
I am feeling better, but still not 100%. I’m ready for this cold to permanently leave my system!!
