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.
