7/26/19: Two Deep Breaths
Two deep breaths - in for 6...out for 6 - every half hour, as often as you're able, could help you release your shoulders from your ears, unclench your jaw, remove your tongue from the roof of your mouth, add 15 minutes of meditation to your day, and help you remember who you are.

7/14/19: Four Pillars of Courage
“I didn’t think that rising skills or resilience was going to be on this list, but as it turns out, the most courageous men and women I’ve interviewed over the past fifteen years, talk about their courage only being possible because they know how to get back up when they inevitably fall. And one of the things that’s true, is that if you’re brave enough, often enough, you *will* fall. …[Y]ou will, by definition, if you’re brave – in your classrooms, in your life, with your partners, with your kids, with the people you care about – if you’re brave, you’re gonna get hurt. The broken hearted are the bravest among us, because they had the courage to love. So we have to learn how to get back up.”

Wow. This is an important book. Takes about an hour to read. Great for Hamsters.
“Here’s what’s important: You are allowed to be disappointed when it feels like life’s benched you. What you aren’t allowed to do is miss your opportunity to lead from the bench. If you’re not a leader on the bench, don’t call yourself a leader on the field. You’re either a leader everywhere or nowhere.”
1/31/19: Anna Hartmann
Anna Hartmann is a PT and athletic trainer whose work I admire and follow. This quick bit of advice from her came up fortuitously in my feed this week, and I thought it’d be good for any Hamster whose job it is to take care of others.
This month & next I’m gradually taking over the lead trainer position at a new gym. It’s a new job in the same franchise I’ve been working in for three years, but with more responsibility & hours. I’m nearly 14 months PO and doing really well with strength and flexibility, but my greatest challenge as always is to slow down and not do too much – in this case, not do too much demonstrating of moves for clients. Anna’s comments are a great reminder of why.
