"A Helping Hand..." I hate asking for help. I fee

"A Helping Hand..."

I hate asking for help. I feel uncomfortable, sometimes I feel weak or even embarrassed. But others times, asking for help is the only way to move forward...

Recently someone asked "How do I find more motivation" & of course, I wanted to help... Because, helping others is what I love!

However, the truth is that there are something's you can't help with. No one is going to create that motivation for you, it's going to come from habit, focus & working hard.

For example, I'm not where I want to be with my running right now. But that's because I need to apply patience, effort & create a habit, I can ask someone to help by pacing me, sure! But I can't ask them for motivation, because that needs to come from me ♥️

ad "You aren’t learning anything when you’re talking..."

True right?

I have got so into Podcasts & Audio books over the past 18 months. I can't believe that I've missed out on so much storytelling, lessons learned & new knowledge...

Also it can be hard to sometimes find the time to sit down & read (although, I'm trying!)

Feel free to share your recommendations with me?

Isn't it interesting that we spend so long chasing

Isn't it interesting that we spend so long chasing a goal, only to realise...

It's not what we wanted after all?

& That's okay.

We're constantly surrounded by "better", "faster", "stronger", "More, More, More..."

But, that can lead us to question if we should accept "comfortable", "content" & "Enjoyable"...

My hopes & ambitions ride waves, just like everyone else. But for once, I didn't want to chase a social media worthy goal...

Sometimes it's nice to chase the calmer side of life or take things off road? You won't find as many people, but you might slow down & find some peace or a different pace...

Then maybe you should sit there & relax for a while...♥️

If you reach high enough, you might achieve your goals. Or a suitable handhold. Or you might find that you reach a bit higher & find cookies...

Today we went climbing, which is apt considering its #worldmentalhealthday Because climbing has impacted my mental well-being both positively & negatively...

I've literally, sat above the clouds - I've also felt like it's not worth me even climbing out of bed...

But today is not the day to talk about me, it's another day to remind people to reach for help...& To reach out & help one another ♥️

As the days become shorter & the weather cools rig

As the days become shorter & the weather cools right down, it's important to have things to look forward to...

I can't wait to hear the crunch of leaves under my feet as I run...

Cosy evenings Infront of the fire...

Watching the sunrise, because the darker mornings make these moments so much easier to catch...

Clutching hot drinks & layering up for walks...

Festivity, everything "spiced", easy dinners in the slow cooker & planning for summer next year...

But right now, I'll stay in the moment & cling on to running in shorts for as long as possible! ♥️

Congratulations to everyone who ran today, you're

Congratulations to everyone who ran today, you're all bloody incredible! 👏

Today I ran for the first time in a week & it felt great. I had set my intentions for another high mileage week, but sometimes life redirects us...🤷🏻‍♀️

Rather than focus on pace or distance, I set out to run for 35mins. Which felt great, so I pushed on to 40mins & finished up with 45mins & a smile ♥️

Anyhoo - Here's to a more active week 🙌

Weekly Running Review (& if you love food as much

Weekly Running Review (& if you love food as much as I do, swipe away for a foodie review...)

Firstly, I'm really pleased with my running this week. I've been committed & hit my highest mileage in around 6 weeks...☺️ But I doubt I'll increase much more, steadily does it & all that!

Now for food! It's been a while since I shared an foodie post, so here's a photo dump of two excellent meals out this weekend...

@greenloftnn1 - Fully vegan 🌱
Delicious hummus - The most incredible tofu roulade & one of the best brownies ever & I have eaten a LOT of Brownies... 👌

@the_fig_tree_northampton - The lil hidden gem...
The most delicious goats cheese & fig parcels, followed by a burger & chips (post run hunger vibes!). Finished with a red velvet cheesecake, which was every bit as scrumptious as it looks.

Hope your weekend has been as wonderful as mine. It's lovely to see my timeline full of PB's ♥️

ad - Ugh, tonight I faced up to two things I'm not particularly fond of! 1) running after a busy day at work 2) intervals/hills. But it's done & then I got to chill out & stuff my face, happy days!

I think I'm finally in the acceptance stage of if I want to keep improving, I need to put in the work. After tonight's run & a slow 8 miles on Monday, I'm right on plan! Hurrah! 🙌
