Yes I know we all may have once upon a time (boy does that sound like a bedtime story), followed the crowd or only went to certain events or joined a gym or social gathering because of specific friends; and if they didn’t want to go, join or be involved well we didn’t either.
It’s a new year, a new time, it’s time to erase that behavior only if you are still following it and only if you want to continue to hide the unique, awesome person you are. Showing up and with the crowd is good. But where is the joy if you prefer to be elsewhere or it’s really not a passion of yours. When we enjoy something there is passion and we can’t wait to do a repeat.
Quick share, my current workout, was one I had interest in and shared with a few friends. I was informed on alternatives as well as encouraged to take a break from workouts. Your results are okay but they are slow and a few encourage me to just give up and join the girls. What they mean is to hang out, let’s work, drink sleep there are other things we can do. Screak, brakes on, hold up, wait a dang minute. You’re asking me to stop all workouts and do nothing. I am an introvert of course I do enjoy socializing sometimes but not on a regular. I also know with this metabolism of mine (which is slower than a snail, but keeps improving in my fitness journey) I’d be so unhappy but guess what? I’d at least be a part of the crowd right?
Well yes but what about the joy of me. Yeah, uh huh and NO. I no longer show up for the crowd unless I decide to pop in. I enjoy my workouts and guess what?. When you enjoy showing up whether your workout is on point (never the same) or any activities you enjoy or professional life you give the best of you. You look forward to the next workout, activity planning or the next day to show up. It’s a passion and it’s a joy.
So to many I say keep doing you. To the others it’s time to stop showing up for the crowd just to appease and please them. There is a crowd available to give you that joy however and allow you to be the unique awesome of yourself. Your choice so…
Is It The Crowd You Are Showing Up For
