Mandatory Me Time
|
Checking in, how are your habits going? My morning walks have turned into a daily thing that if I don’t do it, I feel groggy and sleepy and can’t wake up properly. And I love that, because it’s another thing that drives me to go do them. On Tuesday, I start my morning with a 7 am meeting, so a walk doesn’t always happen. This week, I was sitting there around 9 am, still feeling tired. I had a little check-in moment with myself and realized that these walks are now a mandatory part of my day. So I threw on some outside clothes and walked to a local coffee shop. I didn’t have time for my full 2-mile walk, which usually takes about 45 minutes, but this quick jaunt was enough to get my blood flowing and clear out any of the sleep cobwebs. I’m loving how I feel after these walks. They are a constant reminder that no matter how busy life is, this is mandatory me time. So, in preparation for the coming “weather” months, I’m planning on making a stop at REI or Patagonia this weekend to pick up a new raincoat - since my 18-year-old raincoat disintegrated last year and I haven’t replaced it. I want to hear from you. What habits are you working on? What part of the habit-building process do you find most difficult? What is your favorite part about the habit that you are building that gets you excited and shows you your potential? Hit reply and let me know! Until next time, Morgan |

I had a couple of harsh realities handed to me this week. My dog injured his leg playing around with my partner last night - and it was a glimpse into a possible future. He is a 72 lb golden with hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. He’s had surgery on his right hind hip and probably needs it on his other. So far, we have been managing with pain meds and love. But last night, after roughhousing, he started limping and couldn’t get up to walk to the bedroom - so we carried him. FYI - he is mostly...
I’m 25 days out from a half-marathon race I haven’t been training for. Monster Mountain at mile 1.7 😳 And yet, I’m strangely confident. Have you ever committed to something you weren’t ready for and then didn’t give enough time to? As the days dwindle down, I’m reminded that consistent movement builds a foundation for spontaneous adventures. When you build movement into your life you can be ready to do things on a whim and tap into those benefits. Even though my run mileage has only brought...
