I was completely wiped. Kids were up in the night. Work and school and moving across the country each walked their own tightrope, and I was holding all the lines.
The last thing I wanted to do was pull myself out of bed at 5AM to workout. And, I knew that would be the case, so the night before, as I wearily pulled out my tank and shorts, I also rev’d up my competition bone. If David was doing it, I was sure as heck not going to let him workout without me.
That did it. He rolled out of bed…so I did too.
And, as is always the case {though somehow at 5AM I cannot convince myself of the logic} I felt better all day. The tightrope lines felt closer to the ground—to safety—and my strength to hold them was bolstered.
All because I pointed my strengths at wellbeing.
{That’s the CliftonStrengths of Arranger and Competition to be clear}.
