When life tips into the red zone, dial it back by reconnecting with some easy-to-access joys. These are not fancy, and there are no prerequisites. Think of simply enjoying: the beauty of nature, a cozy sweater, laughter, moving your body, curiosity, feeling a sense of awe, and presence… Being here now.

What brings you joy, and how can you choose to bring a little more of that into your life today?

Drop some ☀️☀️☀️if you are open.

Anticipatory Grief 💔

It’s wild how quickly life can change.

One second you’re living in routine and comfort, and the next, everything looks and feels different.

It’s a reminder to slow down, love hard, and be thankful for every single ordinary day… because those are the ones we’ll miss most when they’re gone.

Hold your people close.
Speak love. Stay grateful.

Motivation follows action. Not just for running. Simple but hard

Athlete: Coach, I can’t get myself to run. Every run feels so heavy.

Coach: That’s normal. Motivation comes and goes.

Athlete: But what if I’ve lost it? Maybe I’m not cut out for this.

Coach: You haven’t lost anything. Motivation isn’t constant—it’s fuel. Sometimes the tank is full. Sometimes it’s empty. That’s why we build habits.

Athlete: So I just force it? Even when I don’t want to?

Coach: Not force. Just start. Lace up. Promise yourself ten minutes. Most times, once you move, the feeling comes back.

Athlete: And if it doesn’t?

Coach: Then you stop. And that’s still a win—you showed up. That’s how discipline grows.

Athlete: So action creates motivation, not the other way around?

Coach: Exactly. You don’t wait to feel motivated. You run first. Motivation follows.

Athlete: Simple… but hard.

Coach: That’s running. The hard parts make the finish worth it.

Allow yourself to be joyful as often as possible. ♥️ ~ Nanea
