Entrepreneurial Musings — This is What it Feels Like to be a Female Founder
Today’s Goal: Be OK
I burned 469 calories as I outlined this
At CycleBar yesterday, the instructor started off our ride by saying, “today’s goal is to be OK.” It got my attention. I wondered where she was going with it. She went on to say, “be OK with where you are, how you’re showing up, what level you’re on, what speed you’re at, what effort you can give, what your body can and cannot do, and where you are in your journey.”
I was thinking about how hard it is for most of us to be OK in the moment, to not judge it, to not judge ourselves, to not be trapped in the past, or planning the future.
It’s why I go to CycleBar. I go to work out of course, but also to let go. Building a business is a slog. Stamina, resilience, and grit are vital. Working out gives me clarity. I can drop my heavy baggage at the door of the studio when I arrive, or shed it as I ride, but I leave lighter every time.
