What speed are you traveling at?
Are you speeding ahead and loving the ride or are you speeding ahead and mostly focused on the destination? Do you find yourself stuck in traffic, horns blaring, road blocks and delays? Or are you cruising down a country road at just the right speed, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery and making adjustments to your trajectory? Most likely it's all of the above at different times and that's ok. As long as you recognize what is happening. Sometimes you just need to get off the road, take some time to focus on your breathing and access where and how you want to continue your journey. And remember, often times a wrong turn can be the best turn!
I am finding lately with the nicer weather that it is getting harder to stay committed to the team requirements and my own personal goals. I'm feeling at times that I just want to get out of the car and park it in the garage to focus on other stuff. Instead I add more fuel and keep moving forward. I ask myself if it would really be so bad if I took an extra rest day here and there? There are days when this is very appealing and even needed, but I also worry that I would end up stalled. While there have been some days this month with lower numbers, I never come to a complete stop. And I am getting better at recognizing what is needed to keep everything sustainable.
Be present to what is directly in front of you
Look ahead, be aware of potential road blocks
Don't allow yourself to become paralyzed by your goal
Don't look where you don't want to go
Adjust you speed as needed
Find the right momentum for the current situation
Eat well and maintain your vehicle
Encourage travel companions
Take measure and embrace the experiences along the way
Extra time to rest is good if it serves you and is done purposefully
Reflect, learn and continue moving forward
No regrets
Appreciate your efforts
Love your results!
Namaste everyone!
