Weekly Spark & Kindling (4/15)

Your inspirational quote for this week is:

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.” - Oscar Wilde

The action I'm inviting you to take on is:

Read (or at least choose and start) a book that isn't something you would typically pick up. Ask a colleague, friend or random person, what book do they recommend? I'll be honest, I don't LOVE this request as I'm currently loving what I'm reading, but I will take it on.

You can hear [briefly] about my action in next week's newsletter. If you're comfortable sharing about your experience, I would LOVE to hear from you! Respond here or tag me on Facebook or Instagram! Have a great week!

About last week's action:

I kind of hated it. As I do most of my note taking in my ipad, I ALWAYS use different colors and different color highlighters. For me to use a different shade, I had to use BLACK. I kept wanting to change it, to make it a brighter color, a different color because it was a new topic or day or whatever. What can I learn from this? I probably bias my existing way as the better way. Also, I have this fear around being afraid to break something that's working with change. Even though I knew it wouldn't happen, I was sort of afraid the notes I took in black ink wouldn't serve me the way they would if I used my "normal" or "existing" system. I notice that I'm struggling with this right now when it comes to my workouts. I've been doing pilates & yoga every morning since we started 75 Hard. Now, I want to add running to my daily workouts. I'm afraid to mess with my morning routine because it's working soooo well and I love it sooo much. Even though I know from my history that running does serve me. Now, what will I do about this? Hmmmm....recently, my "solution" has been to stick with my morning routine and to TRY to add it later in the day. TRY being the key word here. I think, if I were going to take my own advice and not over think it, not keep thinking that whatever I decide, I am deciding FOREVER. If I were going to take that advice, I would commit to running in the morning, minimum of 25 minutes.....for....two weeks. I assume there will be an initial energy drain, but hopefully by the end of two weeks, I'll have a good sense of whether or not I need to pivot.
