Now Learn How to Get It Done ๐ก

โโView in browserโ Hi Reader, A friend of mine shared something recently that's been rattling around in my head ever since, and yes, I asked permission to share ๐ Something she'd been working on hadn't gone the way she'd hoped. She was disappointed. Really disappointed. When she got home that evening, her father asked if she was ready to listen. And when she nodded, he said: "You know how to do the work. Now you need to learn how to get the work done." Let that sit with you for a moment. Because oh my, doesn't that land? ๐ To be honest, it happens to all of us. We have the picture-perfect version in our mind. How the conversation will go. How the task will flow. How the list will be neatly crossed off by the end of the day. And thenโฆ life happens. We beat ourselves up for it. Thoughts go through our mind, and the main character of those inner conversations? SHOULD. I should have... (fill in the blank), and suddenly we're questioning ourselves. Our capabilities. Whether we're even cut out for this at all. So the real question isn't: can you do the work? The real question is: how do you get the work done? And this is where I have to check in with myself often. Because how we respond in that moment matters far more than the mismatch itself. What lessons did I learn from it? None of those are failures. They're recalibrations. Because here's what I've learned. When the picture doesn't match the reality, it's usually not about your ability. It's about the things around it. Timing. Support. Systems. Small assumptions we didn't even know we were making. And that's actually good news. Because as long as we're making progress toward learning from the mistake, the misjudgement of time, or whatever was at the source of it, not going the way we imaginedโฆ That's a WIN! Chat next week, P.S. Where in your life have you been focused on being able to do the workโฆ but forgotten to learn how to actually get it done?

View in browser Hi Reader, Last week, I shared the story of how a single phone check derailed my whole morning routine. It ended with me listening to some random stranger's music choice, out loud, at the gym. Today, I want to take that thread a little further. Because every morning, as part of that same routine, I also read what are called Afformations. Not Affirmations. Afformations ๐ค (Credit to Noah St. John, who coined the concept back in 1997.) The difference is small. But powerful....
View in browser Hi Reader, My morning routine is religious to me. Before I get pulled in a hundred directions, before the day takes over, before the emails start lining upโฆ I take time for myself. A little yoga. Meditation. Some reading. Journaling. Three mornings a week, the gym. A short walk after. (Yes, before you ask. I get up really early ๐ ) I learned a long time ago that if I don't do these things first thing, I just don't get around to them. The day eats them. So I protect that window....
View in browser Hi Reader, Last Saturday, I joined the brand new Beban Parkrun here in Nanaimo for the first time. I'm not new to Parkrun. We used to go regularly when we lived in South Africa, and I still have some lovely memories from those mornings ๐โ๏ธ This is me ๐๐ผ, 10 years ago with Wis (the then pup of very close friends of mine), you can tell from my red face this picture was taken after the Parkrun ๐ But this time was a little different. I'm slowly getting back to jogging after...
