#Athletics #Sunderland

[Graeme Thorpe @_GT_Coaching]

It was fantastic to see so many athletes of all ages out on the track in Silksworth last night. The increase in both junior and senior participation is brilliant to see, and recent weeks have brought even more young people expressing an interest in athletics.

If you are a teacher at a local school, or a parent/carer of a child aged 8 or above, please get in touch to learn how you can get involved and support the next generation of athletes.

People only need to notice that life is unfolding, and acceptance is the softening of resistance, the moment when awareness stops arguing with what has already arrived.

#Acceptance #WhatIs #EffortlessAction

Acceptance is often imagined as a kind of passive surrender, as if it means giving up or agreeing with whatever happens. However, if you look closely at acceptance itself, the picture shifts. A tree does not accept the seasons by approving of them.

A tree does not demand that the weather be different. It stands where it stands, roots in the soil, adjusting to light, to rain, to cold, to heat. The beauty is that the tree does not have to try.

People only need to notice that life is evolving, and this moment is simply one of its ways of unfolding.

#ResilienceRedefined #LivingAsTheWorld #LifeUnfolding

[Graeme Thorpe @_GT_Coaching]

Resilience is often imagined as a kind of inner sturdiness, like being a great old tree that refuses to fall. However, if you look closely at resilience itself, the picture shifts. Trees do not survive storms by being rigid.

Sometimes there are boulders, sometimes there is riverbank, and the river simply adjusts itself around whatever it meets, even as the boulders and the bank slowly change in their own way. The beauty is that the river does not have to try.
