60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: What Does It Take to Get to the Finish Line?

from Stories From Women Who Walk · host Diane F Wyzga * Global Podcaster & Story Detectorist, Steve Schuch & Night Heron Music

Hello to you listening in Keenesburg, Colorado!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  If you followed my New Year’s Day Polar Bear Dive story published in Episode 774 and Episode 776 it might have sounded all too easy: show up, scream, run, dive in, go home.I’m here to tell you that I’m a dyed-in-the-wool introverted kinda gal. I do not do well in settings where I have to show up alone, don’t know anybody, have to make small talk, and may end up looking the fool.  The Polar Bear Dive was a real challenge for me. Not the part where I dove into the 43 Fahrenheit degree water of Puget Sound but showing up. I could have stayed in bed, stayed at home, walked onto the beach and turned back, stayed on the beach but hung out in the background watching the others. You know what I’m talking about. And, no one would have known. I could have lied about what I did or didn’t do.But that’s not how I live anymore. Practical Tip:  Here’s what I’ve learned: the courage isn’t about getting to the Finish Line; the courage is agreeing that you will start. And once you start it’s all Finish Line from there on out! Guaranteed!You’re invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!
