The 25% Challenge

Today was an Alex kinda day. And when he starts the 5 min warm up ride with things like come on where here to "feel good, look good, and do better"...maybe that's all you need to snap yourself back into reality. I know it was a great wake up for me. Showing up.

It’s not just showing up for your physical body, it’s that time to get away for a brief moment away from the family, to have a second for yourself to think, to be a sole human. not Mom or Dad or Sister or friend or nurse or teacher, or whatever.... its you.

I love now easy it is, but in its ease its also not easy at the same damn time.

I'm thankful for Alex for waking my senses up and thankful for me for hoping on, selecting that workout and letting myself get lost in those mere minutes. To be fair it was 5+10+15+10+5. Just 45 minutes. Only 3% of my whole 1440 minute day. or 5% of my awake time. Wow, seeing it types out like that makes me think I'm not giving myself enough.... I'm at least worth 25% of my time. That would be 240 minutes, 4 hours.

Think I just found my new years resolution. I promise to devote at least 25% of my day time to my self. This can include any acts of self love: meditation, journaling, dancing, reading, exercising, napping, taking a relaxing bath, organizing, knitting, crafting, walking, praying, playing......Who's with me? The 25% challenge.

I picked 25 too because I’m worth more than the standard 20% from the 80/20 rule.
