If You’re Realllly Not Ready

If you’re truly not ready for something, the world, your body, your mind will let you know, will stop you, will put the brakes on without you moving your foot.

I think back to last year when I signed up to do the Tough Mudder. I wasn’t prepared for it, but I told myself I was going to do it anyway. (Hell, I spent over a hundred bucks on it!) Fortunately I ended up getting sick a day before it. My mind said I was ready, my body said no.*

I think back to when I was going to send a stupid text to a past friend. Moments before I was to hit send, my phone rang. My best friend was on the other line and we talked my situation through. I never sent the text.

I think of all the times I’ve told myself I can bite off more than I can chew, only to get a migraine that prevented me from following through with my outrageous endeavors.

Go ahead and take all the risks you want, the world and your body will never let you take a risk that you can’t handle. Your world and your body work for you.

 

Stay Positive & Trust Yourself

*3 days after the Tough Mudder I went for a test run. Didn’t make it past 3 miles. Tough Mudder for those who don’t know is 10-12 miles.
