36. Efforting Into Lightness
February 07, 2022 13:00 - 8 minutes - 8.96 MBToday I want to talk about the concept of ‘the process being the goal’ as opposed to only achieving the goal.

I was only outcome oriented and I didn’t like the process. Runner’s Mind Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/32ErVQa Join the facebook community ‘Train for a Half Marathon’: https://www.faceb...
35. Take the running out of running.
January 31, 2022 13:00 - 7 minutes - 3.75 MBRunning often becomes meaningless when your intention is only to conquer the miles, the mountain, the track with your body simply to achieve fast times and long distances.
