I had to go as fast as possible and was still the slowest in the lane.
Had to stop at both ends every time to catch my breath.
Leave big gaps so nobody had to overtake me.
But I've now done THREE WHOLE SESSIONS without moving into the middle lane once!
• Bear with me, there is a point to this. •
Every summer I swim in a beautiful lido as one of my workouts. When I started 5 years ago, I could barely do a length without taking a notable break.
Each year I get a little better, and last year I found myself too fast for the middle lane a few times and dabbled in the fast lane, but was way out of my depth.
This year, after 9 months off, I decided to try and start in the fast lane, and although I'm scrabbling, and genuinely still out of breath when I'm showered, dressed and back in my car 😅, I am ready for it!
I found this an interesting theory for every other aspect of my life - these seemingly tiny improvements until you notice quite a big step up. The compound effect is real!!
This year that's really showing as my horse transport business enters it's 8th year and I can be more selective as well as earn more, giving me more time to think and expand my life in other ways.
I'm casually fitting in recording my next single around my life, because, having already done an album, I'm more experienced so it's taking less out of me.
The financial rules I put in place 2 years ago are giving me so much more freedom and stability I can actually enjoy my life.
Everything you do is a vote for who you want to be tomorrow and in the future. Every tiny decision builds up, good or bad.
