So once again I have “restarted” my workout journey…
And though I guess technically it hasn’t been a month since my last workout, whenever I take a longer than expected break from working out, my body feels like it is experiencing the first workout…
Starting over is never fun, but I have been thinking a lot about the beauty that can be found in having to start over…
And I have also grown to appreciate the fact that I always bounce back and get back to the grind, despite the way that life tries to stop me from achieving whatever goal I am working towards…
I think that’s what I want to encourage everyone with before the year ends…
2021 was wild for a lot of us…
And many of us found ourselves starting over…
Some of us ended an intimate relationship…
Some of us ended our relationship with an employer…
And some of us ended our relationship with a landlord…
Ending something can be hard at times, but we endured all of that and whatever else we went through amidst the chaos and uncertainty brought about by the pandemic…
And that is worth celebrating…
But if you are reading this and are frustrated with having to “start over”… be encouraged because whatever ended was only supposed to be for a season…
And we had to let go of what was no longer for us so that we can grab ahold of that which is waiting for us on the other side of “starting over”…
