Happy Sunday y’all! Today, our family headed out to enjoy some cooler temps and some cloud coverage! We were needing some fresh air and together time. _____________ Yesterday, my 3 yo had some big emotions feeling I was too busy with her little brother and not enough time with her. ... Doesn’t that hurt a mama heart. She knows he’s is a baby and he needs different things from me. She knew all the 1:1 time I spent with her playing outside, reading books, and bath-time that day... so I knew she didn’t need me to re-tell that, she needed me. So, today, I was trying to listen and find ways to be intentional with her. And I’m so glad I did! 💛 _____________ While we were out, I was trying to work in some #runclub interval training for our virtual race in a few weeks. I was about to start another interval and she asked if she could workout with me. We made a goal to run to the trash can, a landmark we’ve used before! We were almost halfway to our landmark and she started saying “I’m not stronger enough and I can’t run anymore.” I said, “You’re stronger than you think you are. You can do hard things. And, you’re big enough to do anything with some help.” She giggled, grabbed my hand, and said “maybe you can help me!” And we both made it all the way to our goal! _____________ Y’all, this hit me hard. I’m so thankful I was being more intentional today and said yes when she asked to workout with me. Did it ruin my splits? Yes. Did we go the full interval time? No. But, she felt her value and she trusted that I believed in her. _____________ I’m thankful she asked to join me and I’m so thankful she wanted to workout with me. I’m thankful she trusted me when I said she could do hard things. It’s not every day, or every run in this instance, that I see every moment put in front of me to build my girl up. _____________ So, as we start a new week full of new challenges and new opportunities, remember... You are stronger than you think you are. You can do hard things. annnd... sometimes, we all need someone to reach out, take us by the hand, and believe in us to help us get through the hard things. #motherhoodinsquares #fit4mom #fitnessmotivation
