this is how I have had to get through.🫶✨🫶

4/18 Edited to

... Read moreGetting through tough times alone can feel overwhelming, but it also builds incredible inner strength. From personal experience, I know that doing it alone means facing moments of doubt, fear, and exhaustion. However, these moments are also opportunities to discover what you’re truly capable of. When I was at my lowest, feeling scared and broken, what kept me going was reminding myself that progress doesn’t require perfection. Even small steps forward are wins. Being tired is natural — it means you’re pushing through difficult terrain. Listening to your emotions and accepting your vulnerability can be powerful tools in navigating challenges. Another key part of getting through alone is finding meaningful self-care routines. This could be journaling your feelings, taking quiet walks to clear your mind, or simply allowing yourself to rest without guilt. Such practices help maintain your mental and emotional health during hard times. Remember, resilience is not about never falling — it’s about continuing despite the falls. The phrase seen in the image, "Did it alone. Did it broke. Did it tired. Did it scared. Still doing it," perfectly captures this journey. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and keep moving forward. For anyone else going through a similar path, know that it’s okay to feel all these things. What matters most is that you keep doing it, one step at a time.

How to get into RUNNING 🏃🏽‍♀️💨
I would NOT have considered myself a runner earlier this year. I've always enjoyed sprinting but long distance running was never my thing or something I was good at. But I decided to sign up for a 10 mile race in the summer to challenge myself and by surprise I slowly began to love running!!
