It was about midweek where I could feel myself starting to feel bogged down a bit with my training. For some reason, my mind began to create struggle that hadn’t even occurred yet. Instead of being in the moment and being grateful for everything that I have and get to do, I started to think about how I was going to be able to keep up with my training routine. (A routine that’s actually been working quite well.) Thankfully I quickly stopped and reminded myself I have a sustainable routine and the flexibility to make adjustments as needed, so there is no need to create problems that don't exist.
The one on ones this week, conversations had and our team meeting have all been very helpful. Some information is new and much of it is already known. After today’s team meeting, I am reminded once again the importance of embracing the journey. And the key for all of us as Todai Ferris pointed out is … we get to.
When I tell myself I get to, it helps me to reset and refocus. It brings me into the moment, provides positivity and even motivation. And gratitude also happens as a result. Having an appreciation for all that I am and everything I get to do, puts me in a more positive mental space to embrace the journey I'm on and allows joy to flow in. If I can't embrace the journey or at least trust the process, why do any of it?
When I think of mastery, it's more than just effort and accomplishments. I see it as also having an open heart and mind, an ever changing perspective, developing awareness and mindfulness and the ability to find joy in the simple things.
Thank you for the connections, the conversations, and thank you for the reminders at a time when they are needed.
