Thinking About

April 8, 2012 ·

I ran across this beautiful quote today–worth sharing:

The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance, but live right in it, under its roof.

Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

Don’t think about it….

January 6, 2012 ·

Just do it. Of course, you recognize the Nike ad. I read recently the best way to overcome inertia is not to look for ways to become more motivated. Instead, start.

Ok.  But I get it. I am a great reader of “how to’s.” How to clear your mind in three easy steps. How to eat to avoid skin cancer. Overcoming fear. Ways to motivate yourself.

This morning, after three nights of not sleeping well (and that’s another blog post), I faced a decision about whether to run. Usually I mentally struggle, looking for a sign. Do I have enough energy? Will I be able to make it? Should I sleep for another hour? Instead, I got up, put on my shoes, and headed out the door.

Done.
