Conquering Mountains 3 weeks ago, my Peloton broke. Yikes. After some mild tantrums, I had to shift my routine and start running outside. At first, I was frustrated. I loved my indoor runs and the consistency they brought. But this change turned out to be a blessing. Running outside, I felt a new sense of freedom and connection to nature. The fresh air, the changing scenery, and the challenges of outdoor terrain all added a new dimension to my workouts. Outdoor exercise can be incredibly rewarding. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and helps you discover new strengths. Whether it's running, hiking, biking, or even a simple walk, being outdoors can boost your mood and your fitness. You might find that you enjoy the process of conquering hills and trails, and this can translate into a sense of accomplishment and confidence in other areas of your life. Body Confidence Body confidence is about embracing your body as it is right now. It's about understanding that your body will change over time, and that's perfectly okay. Summer, with its lighter clothing and more skin on show, can bring up insecurities. But it's also an opportunity to practice self-love and acceptance. Think about the gratitude you can feel for your body. It allows you to experience life, to move, to feel, to connect with others. Every change, every mark, every curve tells a story of where you’ve been and what you’ve overcome. Embrace those stories. Embrace the strength and resilience your body represents. Reflecting on Growth Reflecting on your journey is a powerful tool. Look back at how far you've come. Maybe you’ve faced challenges with body image, with health, with confidence. Recognize your growth and give yourself credit for the progress you've made. Reflecting also helps you set new goals. What do you want to achieve this summer? How do you want to feel? What new experiences do you want to try? Setting intentions can help you stay focused and motivated. Join me in this episode to explore how you can make the most of summer, embrace self-acceptance, and conquer new challenges.
