Hey Team,
Yeah, I know that’s an odd way to start the first post of a series on the first day of a new year when everyone is just wrapping their minds around things.
BUT!
It’s also completely true.
You are already good so at any point in this year it will be ‘so far, so good.’
This isn’t toxic positivity, it’s a fact.
Maybe you have figured out a few things you want to get done this year. Maybe you have decided to try something new. Maybe you think goals and resolutions are a waste of time. Maybe (like me!) you aren’t quite sure what you want to do yet so you are calling this month Planuary and making your figuring-it-out process all part of the plan.
No matter which of those things applies to you right now, you are indeed already good.
You may be trying to expand or enhance your life in some way but that’s about a good person making their life better.
It’s not about someone trying to earn goodness through new habits and behaviours.
You don’t have anything to prove.
You don’t have to be a superhero.
You don’t have to make drastic changes.
You definitely don’t need to (to borrow the title of far too many posts I have seen recently) ‘Become Unrecognizable.’
I want to recognize your lovely self AND I want you to feel good about your days, about your fitness level, about your approach to things.
Since we are all on the same Team here, I am inviting you to be kind to yourself as you figure out how to enhance or expand your life in the ways that serve you best.
As is our tradition here at Fit is a Feminist Issue, I am going to be posting every day in January with a reminder of how to make things a little easier on yourself as move towards the things you want in your life.
And, as always I will be drawing you a gold star for your daily efforts.
By the way, if you’re new here, I give out gold stars for effort instead of for results because we can’t control our results but our efforts matter and I want to celebrate our hard work.
