Saturday I went to sleep with the intentions of doing 8 miles. Sunday morning I headed out with the intentions of doing 8 miles. I returned home after 10 miles. I believed in myself. I trusted myself to be able to get through 10 miles having not done more then 5 miles since my half in November. And also not running much all together. But I did it. Yeah it sucked especially after mile 7 but I made it back home. The point of this is this I think a lot of time we (myself included of course) forget to trust ourselves. Trust our bodies. A lot of the times we are capable of more then we actually think but fear stops us. We have to stop letting fear get in the way of being great. And this applies to every aspect of our lives. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
I went to the Circus on Sunday afternoon - with my 10 mile legs - and me and one of my friends kept talking about the amount of trust these people have to have in the people they work with, the animals and especially themselves. Like it's insane. Mind you I had never been to a circus before so it was all so amazing to me but seriously hanging upside down by your hair or just your ankle -- crazy right?! RIGHT! Requires lots and lots of trust inside yourself. And let's not talk about being in a cage surrounded by Simba cousins…
So take sometime today, this week and think about where in your life you're lacking trust. I know some people will think: "What is she talking about? I trust myself." And I believe you, but what if you don't trust yourself as much as you THINK you do? So think about it some more. It can be one area, it can be more than one area. Then figure out how you can change this. Take baby steps to trusting yourself more.
On a scale of 1 to 10…. where would you say your trust in yourself lies?
