670: Getting to the Start Line Is Harder Than the Finish Line
I\u2019m training for my first triathlon in 18 years.\xa0It has definitely been a little daunting getting back into tri training.\xa0As I\u2019ve been hopping in the water, onto my bike, and into my running shoes, I\u2019ve been giving a lot of thought to the grit, fortitude, and tenacity it takes for us to get to any start lines in our lives.\xa0\xa0\n\nWhen we cross a finish line, there is often a decent amount of fanfare.\xa0People show their support, give you all the accolades, and boost your confidence with cheers.\xa0But no one congratulates you for getting to the start line.\n\nGetting to any start line typically involves quiet, vulnerable, and methodical decision-making.\xa0It takes overcoming self-doubt, shutting down negative self-talk, and deciding, \u201cI am worthy, qualified, and capable to START.\u201d\xa0\xa0\n\nIt takes a lot of grit, fortitude, and tenacity that no one ever sees and no one ever gives you credit for.\xa0\xa0\n\nI would argue that it\u2019s substantially harder to get to a start line than a finish line.\xa0\xa0\n\nIn this episode, I talk through what it looks like to get yourself to the start line and how to own, honor and embrace what a character-building experience it can be.\xa0\n\nI SEE YOU approaching start lines in your life.\xa0I believe in you.\xa0I know you can do it.\xa0I am proud with you and so excited for you.\xa0\n\nSponsor info and promo codes:\n\nPlease find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/\n\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
