My name is Selah and I currently live in Washington state (USA). I’m working to find my way back to work after burning out from starting a COVID-motivated business without a plan. I have experience with this program: I completed the first three days during the last session, but I dropped the ball. I intended to pick it up right away, but instead, I kicked it into the woods and have been wandering around ever since, trying to navigate through the underbrush of distractions and doubts that have clouded my path. If I’m being honest, it wasn’t a one-time slip (or kick); it was a pattern. I started strong, felt the early momentum, and then let friction, resistance, and distraction take over. Instead of pausing and re-engaging, I checked out. And the longer I stayed out, the heavier it felt to return. I’ve been trying to embrace the reality that “kicking the ball into the woods” isn’t the end of the story unless I decide it is. The work isn’t lost; it’s just been unattended. The reps I did still count. The awareness I built is still there. I’ve spent enough time overanalyzing why I dropped the ball, and I’m refusing to allow the shame I felt for not finishing the first time to keep me from starting again. I’m walking back into the woods to pick the ball up and restart. Because the only way this program - and my life - works is if I keep showing up…and that part is still completely within my control. (I’ll probably bring these two senior pups into the woods with me to get the ball, and they’ll have a ball. 😋 Jasmine (L) and Brody (R) will be celebrating their 15th and 13th birthdays on the 29th!)
