Day 3,724

Growth:

We are what we practice. Just as our physical health is related to our mental diet, our mental diet is similarly impacted. Be aware of what I consume mentally, remember to choose intentionality.

Appreciation:

Our run this morning was very chilly, but it also felt awesomely refreshing and awakening! We normally don’t get our first sub zero feel run until we get into January, Christmas came early this year! For real, it seems almost sacrilegious to say, but I would much rather run in the cold like this than in a hot and humid 80+ degree day.

Getting the run in with the frigid temps felt all the more like a bit of an accomplishment, making the decision to persevere and face the elements. It also reminded me of how much I am learning to love winter more than in the past. The cool air seemed to amplify the moonlight reflecting off the snow, creating a very light dark in the woods that seems borderline magical. Nothing like being out before sunrise in the cold like that!

Presence:

So many moments of authenticity, or pure unbridled excitement, of positivity today at work! With a new start on the team and a team who continues to grow and overachieve it was so easy to be 100% present at work today. It was also a perfect opportunity to remember to call things out as they are, to be an unfiltered and authentic version of myself – so liberating!

Thanks!!!
