Are you dreading that thing gathering dust?
A tip to move past the resistance and get back in the saddle of life!
Okay, so here’s the deal.
Resistance is real.
Especially for things that have been gathering dust. And I am not talking about fairy dust 🧚♂️
🚲I’m talking about the dusty bike that’s in your garage with flat tires.
🛠️I’m talking about that home improvement project that has all the components purchased, but you’ve yet to do the installation.
💼 I’m talking about that new job you’ve been wanting to step into and you keep putting off updating your resume for months.
Resistance is real. And I’ve found the longer I let the dust gather, the harder it is to take the first step. It’s like I’m orbiting in dread. How about you??
💸 What I’ve also found is the act of putting some money behind taking a next step aligns me to a bigger goal than my resistance.
This bold action can help you get over the hump of your resistance.
It could be $1, $100, $10,000. It’s a way of saying YES!
🏃♀️It’s why people who want to run a marathon pay for their race months in advance. It aligns them to this big goal!
So… is your bike gathering dust? Are you avoiding your garage with hopes if you don’t see that dusty bike that you won’t have to face the truth that there’s this thing you’ve been meaning to do that you haven’t done in forever?
I see you and hear you sister.
Put down the dread for just a sec.
Imagine how AMAZING and EMPOWERING it will feel to dust off that bike and get back in the saddle?
Maybe just maybe, you need to take bold action by putting some money behind this bold desire to get back in the saddle?
You aligning with this feeling of empowerment and saying yes is badass and bold.
Next Sunday, May 19th from 1:00- 3:45pm Circle and Spoke has Ride & Reignite: A Birding and Biking Adventure leaving from Cleveland Park in DC.
By registering, you are saying “I’m ready to dust off the cobwebs and get back into the saddle of my bike and life!” How rad!
🚲The ride will be a leisurely, no drop ride alongside rad, outdoorsy women and non-binary folks over the course of 6 miles along carless paths from 1-3:45pm…
🎉which means we are going to have fun and be by your side to celebrate you moving towards empowerment!
And we’ll have different pause points to appreciate birds and nature to help you destress. Because maybe just maybe you could use a little time to unwind?
