Context: i am feeling reflective after running a race yesterday and finishing slower than i had hoped.
Putting in work to achieve a desired outcome, but coming up a bit short... you still worked hard and made a valiant effort! Go you!! You went for it and, all things considered, probably did a great job objectively; everyone else is likely in awe & wildly impressed by [insert achievement here].
We are our own worst critics. But we are also our greatest cheerleaders. Keep working hard and setting goals - and remember that a goal you set is just a goal that you set!! Hashtag character building

You’re almost there. Resist rushing through it. Take your time. Take a break. Keep going. Do it well. Reward yourself. Get that completion dopamine, then enjoy a sweet treat for your efforts (or whatever feels nice to you). Soon you’ll have a body of work. It feels good to see it accumulate.

this mindset was taught to me when i first started running (thank you coach she’s a real one 🥹) and i guess this applies in other aspects of life, like building habits.
also this is a very personal fuck you to perfectionism bc i finally finished updating my 2024 portfolio wooooooo
celebrating incremental progress and focusing on building momentum is better than letting perfectionism drag you down 🙂↕️

very important to find the middle ground between just giving up easily and letting yourself rest after a reasonable amount of progress has been made…

the first run in new sneakers is always crappy. Terrible. Twist my ankle a dozen times, feel like im on stilts, barely have any control. But the second run?! I feel like i am invincible! running at the speed of light!! Even though after the run i check and my pace was totally flat 🤬🤬but still, i feel so much better when getting into new shoes, run efforts feel so much easier.
My new asics novablast 3s arrived earlier this week and yes i know they are butt ugly but this model is my favourite and its the only colour they had in my size on sale. Just look at the cushion on those puppies!!
