For the one in transition
The thought—don’t quit during the warmup—popped into my head during a particularly challenging workout, a workout that hurt in the beginning. But once I got into it, my energy increased and I fell into a flow. I reconnected with the reason I exercise. It’s good for me. And, it actually feels good.
“Don’t quit during the warmup” also feels like a metaphor for life, whenever we’re in transition and moving towards something new. The thing about life, we don’t always know how long the warmup will last. And, each new day can feel like its own warmup. The desire to crawl back into bed is strong sometimes!
It helps to ease into it, go slow at first, and let your intuition/body/soul tell you when it’s time to pick up the pace.
It also helps to go back to the moment you made the decision to change or start something new. If the reason still feels aligned with who you are and what you value, keep going. I’m cheering you on!
