Therapy Thursday: Suck it up, sister

I'm horrible at keeping up with blogging in general lately, but certainly keeping to my usual posts. Therapy Thursday has been lacking, but tonight, its with myself in mind. I'm on week #2 of 4 of 6 day a week travel. I leave my temporary apartment in Birmingham on Sunday morning, and return Friday night. …

Therapy Thursday: Finding a way to give back

As I've mentioned before, my job is a bit crazy. I travel a lot, I often work very late and weekends are not out of bounds. Not having a normal schedule has always kept me from volunteering as often as I'd like. I can't easily make a commitment to do something regularly because I could …

Therapy Thursday: Put on running shoes, Garmin, headphones, leave brain at home

It's been a few weeks since I did a Therapy Thursday, but they always help me, so I brought them back. This week has been my best running week in a long time. I've PR'd my 2 mile run twice this week, including this morning when I felt heavy and congested. I ran with no …

Therapy Thursday: Be Proud, it’s Not Selfish

As I've mentioned before, I've struggled for as long as I can remember with my weight. There are always at least few extra pounds on my tiny frame, consistently providing a twinge of self-doubt in the back of my mind. Over the last few months, I've dedicated myself to my personal well-being. This means focusing …

Therapy Thursday: Remembering You’re Not Perfect, and That’s Okay

I've decided on Thursdays to start finding a little piece of motivational therapy. Thursdays can be tough: you're almost to the weekend, but not quite; for many it's tempo run day; and for others, its thirsty Thursday, so you probably don't need my help 🙂 I have been feeling very sick for much of the …
