Last weekend I did my first triathlon in 18 years.\xa0It was an incredible experience - which I almost put it off until next summer. I\u2019m so glad I didn\u2019t wait.\xa0I shifted a 12-month goal to a 2-month goal and it paid off - big time.\xa0\xa0\n\nWhether you\u2019re working toward a new goal or returning to a goal from the past, I want to invite you to take a look at how you\u2019re approaching your goal.\xa0Your perspective and approach will deeply impact your experience and your outcomes.\xa0\xa0\n\nWhen I did triathlons 18-22 years ago, it was so much work and so much stress.\xa0A lot of the training felt like a grind.\xa0It was all very intense.\xa0\xa0\n\nYou would think, at age 46 and being out of the game for so long, I would have felt that intensity and stress return as I took up training again.\xa0I did not.\xa0\xa0\n\nI was really intentional about how I approached this goal.\xa0My approach allowed me to enjoy every moment of training and every second of race day.\xa0\xa0\n\nIn this episode, I talk you through 5 Important Lessons On Trying Something New in hopes that you can cut your deadlines on your goals in half in order to get to the finish lines faster - and with a ton more ease and joy!\xa0\n\nLink mentioned:\nJoin my free workshop: How to Calm Your Chaos & Let Go of Your Crap: shamelessmom.com/calm\n\n\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?
