Is your world too small?

I have a confession…
I failed. 😞

I started 75 Hard (but called it “75 to Thrive” because it had a more positive vibe IMHO)…but I bailed after 5 days. 😧

I worked out twice a day for 45 minutes (one outside),
I stayed on a nutrition plan,
I didn’t eat a cheat meal or drink alcohol,
I read 10 pages of non fiction a day,
I drank 128oz of water per day,
I took progress pics..
I did it all consistently…

But there’s no where in the 75 Hard that talks about sleep. 😴 And my Oura ring was showing me consistently lower trends for sleep and recovery. My HRV was lower, my resting HR was higher, my resilience score was lower.. and I could feel it. So I bailed… I “failed”.

Or did I?

I’ve been pondering this a lot..
“What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?” Used to be the quote on my profile. I used to do lectures centered around this quote. But I had forgotten… the quote is more about ATTEMPTING.. and taking the emphasis off our traditional view of failing. What do you learn and how do you grow in the attempting? What does Fail mean to you?

“FAIL” to me = “Forge Ahead In Learning”

(yes I just thought that up this morning in the shower. Correct me if someone else has already taken credit for that?😉)

I Learned to listen to what my body was needing from me. I Learned to utilize my time better; where I could maximize and where I needed to allow rest and recovery. I Learned new strategies and priorities. I Learned that someone else’s checklist and challenge isn’t what I need right now balancing 2 jobs, but I could come back to it at some point when and if I am ready.
I LEARNED. And now I forge ahead with that new knowledge.
So did I “FAIL”? YES!🙌 ❤️

And I am thankful for it. 🙏

What have you failed at lately that you are grateful for?

Tuesday inspiration. Have a wonderful day❤️
