Hi y'all,
Keep it unreal and make it happen has been my go to catch phrase since the day I decided I was going to run that full marathon. For me that catch phrase has been more than just a motto, it has been my reminder, my pick me up, my kick in the butt and so much more. It has helped me through each and every time disbelief was visible in the face of people. You know the wordless kind with the raised eyebrow, sometimes audible even by added sighs or coughs to stress the effect. Self-doubt has been erredicated by this phrase and shushed to mere whispers entering and leaving my mind. But...this is by no means something that comes naturally and it isn't something you decide to think and than POOOF so it will be for ever and ever. Not by a long shot!
My motto is like a mantra I have to repeat over and over again because the only person that can make the unreal happen is me and the only person that truely needs to belief that I am capable of whatever goal I set for myself.but especially each and every running goal. Running is a part of me like my huge sunglasses and scarves are. I am not me if I don't run but that doesn't mean I strife for big huge goals only. Sometimes you have to embrace the fact that just running is enough because each and every time you set out for one is a moment for you to reconnect to yourself and, if you're lucky enough, your significant other. Sometimes it is not about time or distance but just about trying to maintain some level of health in every aspect. Getting out there and running even when you are stuck on so many levels you can't even think about a reason to breathe is a huge accomplishment and it is a victory that you need to hug and kiss and celebrate. Why? Because you did it and that is huge.
Awesome right? Yeah right. I wish I had the ability to always feel the words I just wrote but unfortunately I don't. Somehow I picked up this absolutely scarring habbit of always telling myself that what I do is not a big deal and somehow I learned to think about myself as less of a human being compared to ...well basically anyone.So much for self esteem right? So you see..I'm by no means a guru or a great mind. I am a normal human being scarred by life's events and I'm trying to change how I feel about myself and running has proven to be the one thing I can trust will work. Running works. Having a motto works. It helps you live by it and eventually you will learn to actually see what you tell yourself.
SO if you ever feel disgarded, down or just unhappy with whatever situation you are in...please think of this: You can change your world! Keep it unreal and make it happen.
Until we read again, as always
Love Marlies
