When I started running, I asked my coach how to get better.
He said: show up to every practice
I got better. I asked again:
"Run on the weekends when we don't practice"
I got better
Showing up consistently is step 1 in any pursuit
Don't overcomplicate it when getting going
Trauma isn’t an excuse. The behaviors that come from trauma can be very destructive and painful. We can’t expect people to tiptoe around our trauma or accept unsafe behavior. Our adult responsibility is to heal and to learn better ways to cope.
