Mindset of a Champion

My journey on becoming the kickass woman I've always wanted to be. This is where it starts.

It's been eons!

Haven't been on in forever and only good news to update :) I kept up with running a couple of days a week right up until my internship.  I worked my way to doing a full mile!  I planned on continuing running throughout the internship but my body could not handle being so battered.  I was basically bushwhacking my way on a mountain side with thirty pounds of equipment digging 20-30 holes a day.  I loved every torturous minute of it.  I was careful not to gorge myself, as it's a tendency when I feel I've done the "work" for it, and for all of that I ended up losing 8 pounds in 6 weeks!  The number matters less to me than the overall feeling of being strong and accomplished, but hot tamale, that's a lot. Now that I'm back I plan on continuing running.  Going to try to work my way to 3 miles before Muderella in September!

When I say be creative, I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

For 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It’s like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world’s lowest infant mortality rates.

It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it’s designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they’re from, an equal start in life.

The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers.

It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress.

With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby’s first bed. Many children, from all social backgrounds, have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.

Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it’s worth much more.

The tradition dates back to 1938. To begin with, the scheme was only available to families on low incomes, but that changed in 1949.

think about this when you don't want to exercise:

if someone paid you $100 would you go exercise? i think you would. and i also think your body is worth more than $100
