~:[CH10 - Day 212]:~ It Takes Time

One thing I noticed with the athletes is that some of them have been locked away for awhile so they missed out on the normal activity that they had before the pandemic. I feel the same way. However, I think this year more than ever, I have to keep in mind that we are not just cycling through another year, rather, we are going to have to exercise patience this year. We are going to have to make sure that while we maintain rigor, we can be more understanding. We can make sure that while we hope for one thing, we don't let that blind us from the struggles that all of us will have. We can also make sure that we give ourselves the time to get back on track and not put pressure on ourselves to perform at a level we once were day in and day out. We may get there eventually, but let's not rush ourselves. Take your time. As I climbed the sand hill during the workout, my blister was bothering me; however, I slowly trekked myself up the hill and eventually reached the view of the top. It wasn't my fastest ascent, but I can't complain, because I made it there. I hope we all can find a way to take this perspective over the next year or longer, as we all deserve to give ourselves and others the time we need to get ourselves back on track.
