Things feel heavy right now and many are hurting (dehumanizing trans laws, the invasion of Ukraine, deadly tornadoes in our area, mental illness, cancer, etc.), but we still need to take time to celebrate those moments that bring us joy and connection in ourselves and to others. The world needs more joy, so let’s spread more joy. 💛

Swim highlights: 7300 yards
Sunday my brain wanted to stay in the comfort zone… ”you have put in some tough sessions the last couple of days, so you don’t really need to do your fast 100s as hard as you can. It’s ok to give yourself a break today.”
Good thing I was on to my pesky brain trying to convince me to micro quit. Instead I turned the potential for this micro quit into a micro commitment and crushed those fast 100s. My pesky brain was wrong…I didn’t need to give myself a break after all! ⚡️
I’m pushing past my growth edge. I continue to show up, catch my brain trying to keep me in the comfort zone, and decide that my comfort zone isn’t where I want to be to grow and achieve my goals. ⚡️

Happy Birthday to Jersey! The everest challenge sounds like fun-good luck!
I’m really trying to make an effort to choose happy this week-the last several weeks have really taken a toll on my mental health. My husband pays zero attention to the news and doesn’t care, so sometimes I feel like I’m all alone seeing the cruelty out there and worrying about our kids futures. It’s been overwhelming…I just wish everyone could be more kind and understanding.
I’m going to try and get out walking or going for short trots on the treadmill when it’s too snowy or icy outside. I hope you have a great week–cheers!
It has been overwhelming and tough. Wishing you all the best, more kindness to come your way, and so much more joy. 💛
