Don’t look for approval.
People are fickle.
It’s not about them.
It’s about YOU.
Do YOU!
Show up.
Keep growing.
Challenge yourself.
Document your progress.
Compete against YOU.
Clap for YOU.
Then, set a new goal.
& repeat.
No matter what others say/do—WIN anyway!

A3&4 I have a “Feel Good” folder (physical one, an email one & one on my desktop) where I keep sweet comments people give me—letters, emails, anchors of appreciation, text messages, pics, etc
When things are yucky, I read them. Changes my attitude.

Now, it's= a comprehension strategy used by Ss in 17 countries and in over 50 languages.

A2 I did a courageous thing today...hit a new PR on my back squat--165 pounds. It's not a professional one but a personal one, for sure. That's more than my body weight by 36 pounds. I'll take it.

A1 I've added the habit of working out/CrossFit 5-6 times per week for the last nine months. It's the most wonderful habit I've added to my life. It's helped me become mentally healthy, gain strength physically and emotionally, and crave better nutrition.

This is for all who doubt their content—
Don’t let others decide what you share.
You do YOU!
Post that EDU motivation.
Post that inspo from gardening.
Post your workout, your blog, podcast, a proud moment, that meme that made you LOL.
Do YOU!
