If or when you feel like stopping – use all your sources. Why hold back? Your body and mind is Such a power tool. Whether it’s love or anger – get in there, deep, with all the feels and frustrations. Surely Something can keep you going?
I had an amazing (run) therapy session today and this is what kept me going:
1. All the people I’ve been angry or disappointed with and should’ve told off but didn’t. Literally saying ”fuck you fuck you fuck you” in my head.
2. Screaming at myself as if I’m coaching myself in my head.
3. Injustice. So many things in this world is unfair.
4. Reminding myself that I can be strong and powerful and a freaking badass. Yeah! We all need this one from time to time.
5. Imagining myself hitting (some) people like a freaking ninja. Yeah ok, I used anger today because I felt angry (as you might have noticed here by now…). Also, I had a bunch of hormones running wild. They actually helped for once!
6. Calming myself, breathing, feeling my steps, looking up and all around me. There is beauty all around when you open your eyes. And I’m here to see it.
7. Reminding myself of the gratitude, that I actually Can do this. That my body was meant for this. To move. To breathe in and out fresh air. That my body thanks, and will thank me for this, forever. Again, that I am strong, a source of power, and can become even stronger. And, that I have this strong healthy body to work with, while some people don’t.
This always keeps me going. Being my own coach, my own motivation and inspiration. It’s also why I call it therapy. Coaching.
It’s a full time job, working with yourself.
What keeps you going? ?
