Yesterday Garret and I got into an argument then realized what we were arguing about is a situation outside of our control.
Today us coaches got word that our leadership conference that was supposed to be held in New Orleans this summer is officially canceled.
Tomorrow (it’s pretty safe to say) that my corporate job will make an announcement that extends “work from home” measures through the end of April.
It’s easy to look at these things and feel like my world is crashing down. Quite frankly, it sort of felt that way when I woke up this morning... but in reality, whatever hard thing you have to push through during this moment in time will make you stronger for the next hard thing that comes your way.
Today I choose to be thankful that you and I are still alive and breathing.
I have the opportunity to wake up every day in the comfort and safety of my home knowing that I will still be getting a paycheck at the end of this week. Feeding into my day job and working on my virtual fit biz is what keeps me going during this scary time. Without a sense of purpose, it would be so easy for me to watch netflix all day (like this tiger king show - is it really worth it!?), and drinking wine all day to mask the sorrows.
Regardless if I “feel like it” I practice discipline to keep moving forward.
Washing my face, brushing my teeth, making my bed, and changing out of my p.j.’s... those are nonnegotiables for me.
Pouring into my day job using the limited resources I have, getting my work out in, and checking on fit campers... those are all actions I do to keep the wheels turning.
Connecting with new gals, posting on insta, and hosting daily dance parties in the living room... those are a plus, those things I do that make this job fun.
Regardless what else gets thrown our way... for these reasons above, I simply choose to be thankful that you and I are still alive and breathing.
