Keeps me engaged in a way that music wasn’t while shifting my focus from the run itself, and most episodes are the perfect length for a 3-5mi outing 👟

or perhaps audiobooks.
just chill out and enjoy the process, it doesn't actually have to be high energy constantly and it's been a nice revelation to have. especially good for longer runs

The way I motivate myself to run is by telling myself I can ONLY do something I want/need to do if I go on a run (even a short one). For example I only listen to my favorite podcast when I’m running. Or when I need to shower, I tell myself I can only shower if I go on a quick 20min run around my neighborhood and get a little sweaty first. I only listen to my running playlist (all my favorite songs that are ~60bpm, which is my exact running pace) when I run.
Try out a bunch of different paired habits (music, podcast, just listening to your own breath and thinking) to see what works best. One size does not fit all!
Lastly, when I first started out, I could only run sans headphones/music/podcast etc. i ran silently listening to my breathing, and I think it helped me figure out what my natural pace was. When I could hear myself huffing and puffing, I’d know to slow down. It took at least a year of getting in tune w my body this way before I could listen to anything for fun. i know that kind of cancels out the recs above BUT like I said, you might want to try all of these and see what fits for you ♥️

Didn’t plan to give the series another shot but I’d heard this season wasn’t following the previous formula…it’s giving full Twin Peaks vibes. The owls are not what they seem and I’m 100% here for it.

I’ve been doing this since the end of Dec..I was reading an interview about mental health habits and the person shared they do this at the top of each day:
Make a list of these 5 things- full sentences or singular words, whatever comes to mind.
1) 5 things you’re grateful for today
2) things you need/want to do today
3) any fears or resentments
4) things to avoid feeding into today
5) things to strive for/go after today
I love a list, and jotting it down in my daily planner is a nice way of not being too precious about it. 🌞
