GROW - EXPLORE

"Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up." - Brené Brown

​You are here. You are prepared to explore, and not to stay put.

​I remember a conversation with Coach R several years ago, in which we explored the idea of being comfortable being uncomfortable. I thought about this a lot when I was training for the Transalpine Run last year. When I was on a big climb that felt like it would never end, when I would feel my heart jump right up into my chest, in the moments where the last thing I wanted to do was eat and fuel up for the rest of my long run. In those moments of discomfort, can you tell yourself that you're really ok? That you're doing great? That you have everything you need to move positively forward? Discomfort can empower us to change.

​Can you embrace those moments where you are uncomfortable, feeling the energy and empowerment from those around you, and from those who have come before you? You signed up. You've been showing up. You're here despite all of the things that have happened this last year. If the process is a teacher, and change is the reward, lets enjoy the journey.
