I used to listen to this playlist almost daily during my FMLA and DBT IOT last summer. I haven't listened to it in quite a few months. For some reason I loaded it up this morning, and wow, it's like a punch to the gut that I needed.

I put it on for background music, but hearing her spoken word... I found myself having to stop everything I was doing to really focus on her message. To hear her words. To stop. And take a moment. To breathe.

I found this album on the Calm app and then I discovered the spoken word version of it, which is truly just incredible to listen to with real focus. I needed this today.

So I am sharing it again for everyone, should you ever need it.

Reach out if you ever want to discuss any of this or learn more about resources.

You matter.

Hill repeats workout today. Felt strong despite the humidity. I truly love running and am so glad I stay with it through the ups and downs.

I was getting maybe one green recovery a week. Despite going to bed early and doing what I could to help my rest. So this past week I decided to try something different. What if ran a little more frequently, and says I didn’t run, I still went out for a walk and got some good movement in.

Well, the results have been ASTOUNDING!

It always feels amazing when I’m at my best, sleeping well, recovering well, running well, and generally making a lot of great choices.

It doesn’t always look like this. And I’d almost say this is the exception, but I keep working at it one day at a time.
