Remember that accepting a situation does NOT mean not doing anything about it. It means starting where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. But where you are.

If you don't start from where you are it is hard to move forward in any meaningful way.

People who jog in place while waiting for a traffic light to change, it’s almost your time to shine.

Today's practice: Acceptance.

Acceptance is not passive resignation. It is seeing clearly what is happening—not what you want to be happening or what you thought would be happening; but what is ACTUALLY happening—and taking wise action that aligns with your values.

MENTAL TOUGHNESS isn’t about fighting against or making hard situations, thoughts, or feelings go away. It's not about squashing them either. It’s about creating space in which to hold these challenges so you can see them clearly and take wise, conscious action.

"The biggest mistake you can make is to ignore the basics in your profession. This is true no matter what you do, where you live, or who you are. When you ignore the foundation...you will never be consistent." https://t.co/NRAPaSHsMN

Trying to be perfect always at self-improvement is a surefire way to burnout.

Whatever you're working toward you'll probably regress, sometimes even severely. I know I do. Just pay attention to how you feel; don't judge too hard; and get back on the path. https://t.co/eu2ubZmzFA

In #Wisconsin it’s year round on the trainer. All winter riding & some spring/summer riding to get quality work done. Thankful my @KineticTrainer and tire are able to handle all the miles! 🚴‍♀️ #kinetictrainer #ismseat #garneaushoes #trainertime

What an amazing weekend down in Tennessee with family and friends! It was a last minute trip and sometimes those are simply the best. Started out with racing the @runrocknroll half… https://t.co/tKMCR3AVSp

Emotional fatigue is real. Poured a lot of energy, over several months, into this year’s #BostonMarathon. Physically, I already feel I’ve bounced back. Mentally, I know I am still deep in the well.

#ProTip: downtime is not solely for physical recovery, don’t rush it.

RACE WEEK!!!!!! Wow. It’s been a LONG winter but a really short one because it’s hard to believe the first race of the season is here. EXCITED to toe that line with everyone out there.… https://t.co/6dT1eKDI0d

It has been awesome to get 🌞 the past few days. I’ve been just craving it! My Vit D levels used to be bottomed out but thanks to @PureEncaps #vitaminD supplementation I’m back in normal range. Vit D is CRITICAL to bone health.

You might not have a good start but you can have a good finish and a lot of it is up to you.

Be a minimalist to Be a maximalist. You can’t be great at everything. Regularly reflect on what matters most to you and focus your efforts there. You'll be better *and* feel better.

Social media is full of people making posts as if everything in their lives is perfect, especially in the health and performance realm. Remember that so much of that is an illusion. Don't compare yourself to a bar that isn't real.

This is an amazing thread!
