Of course it’s hard!

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Chances are pretty good you're going to have something to do this week that feels hard.

Maybe it's a conversation, a workout, or something new you're learning.

Here is what I want to offer you as you get ready for it.

Hard can just be part of it.

I ran a half marathon this weekend here in Asheville and really enjoyed watching my mind during the race.

That little voice kept pointing out the challenging parts. It kept trying to convince me to slow down, to back off, to take it easy.

And here is the thing that kept me feeling strong. I didn't argue with it. I didn't try to convince myself it wasn't hard.

I agreed. And then I added the rest of the truth.

Yes, this is hard. AND I trained for hard.
Yes, that hill looks steep. AND I love running hills.

As you head into your version of hard this week, try playing with this.

Don't argue with the hard or pretend it isn't there. But also don't let challenge be the only thing that's visible in your mind.

Your brain is going to offer you a partial truth like:
"This is taking too long."
"I don't know if I'm doing this right."

Try answering it with: Yes. And...

Yes, this is taking longer than I thought. AND look how much I'm learning along the way.
Yes, I don't know if I'm doing this right. AND I'm willing to figure it out.

Cheers to doing the hard stuff this week. And not letting the hard be the whole story.

In your corner,

Missy

P.S. Grateful for my coaches Martha and Brian and my Asheville running family. This town knows how to do hard things together and make it fun. Love you all!

Personal Support

This kind of work, learning to work with your brain instead of fight it, is at the heart of what I do with coaching clients. If you want support with that, learn more or book a call here.

Totten tuning into music

Totten in his radio days Hey Reader, Do you remember the first thought that popped into your mind when you woke up this morning? Was it: “Ugh, I need 3 more hours of sleep.” “Mondays are the worst.” “Today’s going to be a good day.” Our brains start offering us thoughts before our feet even hit the floor. And once you start paying attention, you’ll notice those thoughts usually carry a certain vibe. I like to think of them as music stations. There’s a specific energy behind them that’s worth...

Hey Reader, What are you listening to these days? Podcasts, music, the news, books, meditations? Single speed or sped up? And more importantly… how’s all of that noise making you feel? Energized? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? Calm? Most of us hit play without pausing to think: Will listening to this help fuel me forward or be an energetic drag as I start my week? As you kick off your week - consider pausing before you hit play on your usual routine. And choose a soundtrack that aligns with how you...

Hey Reader, A couple weeks ago, I wrote about my struggle with being a slightly messy human my whole life, and I shared the full story here: I found a gap in my own coaching. Many of you wrote back saying you want to solve this too. Today, I’ll give you a quick inside look at the mindset that has driven me over the past few weeks and has led my home to stay tidier than it’s ever been. You can do this too! Yes, I’ve been implementing strategies you’ve probably heard of before, like the...
