Day 34: Consistency Is Key

A rushed morning led to me forgetting to my my meditation in the morning. During my run, I found my mind picking up an old habit of grabbing onto a worrisome thought about a potential scenario in the future that will likely never happen and throwing it into my mind’s spin cycle, taking energy and focus away from my run, causing my running pace to slow down and my running form to suffer. Halfway through my 90 minute run, I caught myself and made a somewhat-successful conscious effort to shift my mindset from the anxious thought to awareness of the world around me – the green grass I was running on and the beautiful lake I was running around. Lesson learned – remember to meditate before your run, Rose!
