BREAK A SWEAT

Run, cycle, swim, hike or do any other form of cardio close to threshold for at least twenty minutes.  Whatever your situation it WILL look better after a run. There are actual HOPE molecules that will be released in your bloodstream if you do.

JOIN THE PACK
Your mind will tell you that you're uniquely alone in this world. Being part of something is the antitode to that lie. Online communities are great, but the magic the happens in real life. Find a local running club or fitness class. Get together and sweat together. Keep showing up. It will change your life.

DO HARD THINGS

Do things that scare you. Sign up for that race or class or challenge and be vulnerable. Then, embrace the suck. The more voluntary suffering you build into your life, the less involuntary suffering will affect you. And you might just discover you’re capable of more than you ever imagined.

OWN YOUR STORY
Own every part of your story; the messy, the painful, the shameful. Especially the shameful. Shame thrives in silence. It cannot survive being spoken, so speak it. Confront it, befriend it, conquer it. Freedom is waiting for you on the other side.

LIGHT THE WAY

You are living, breathing proof that there is life, and light, after darkness. When you share your story, you light the way for someone still in the dark.
