What do you do for wellness?
I've always ran, running has always been my thing until I injured my knee and had to have a 6 month break.
That's a long time to have off from any sport or wellness routine
However, I acknowledge what being able to regularly run means to me.
It brings me:
Clarity
Grounded Ness
Energy
Vive
Mental stability.
I'm starting again
I used to be able to run quite far 13 14 plus miles.
Now I'm running 5k 3.1 miles.
This hasn't put me off, if anything it's something to direct gratitude towards.
I'm committing.
I'm trying
And I'm reaping the small benefits,which will eventually grow into huge benefits.
So, this morning at 6:50am I was out in the beautiful Forest of Dean, gentle morning sunlight filtering through the oaks, beeches and pines.
Of course my running buddy Mr Burns kept me company.
I felt Sooooo satisfied when I got back to my car, satisfied in a multitude of ways.
If I could make you feel my level of gratitude for my morning run and the beauty, peace and serenity of being in nature, I'm sure you would all be out there tomorrow.
Keep trying, even though your achievements might seem small.
