why you should start the storyteller athlete summer lock in
This blog is not what you think it is. I am not going to try and convince you to start this storyteller athlete lock in. But I am going to encourage you to pick up a challenge this summer that helps you grow.
why do a summer lock in?
I feel like people always talk about locking in during the winter time before the new year. I even made a blog last winter about locking in. But people rarely talk about what it looks like to start new habits in the middle of the year. Summer is a beautiful time to engage in new rhythms and disciplines in our lives. The sun is out. We are all feeling less depressed and the days are longer. All these factors make it the perfect time in the year to get back on track.
what is the storyteller athlete summer lock in?
I have 5 goals this summer all rooted in the same thing – getting back to the basics on a daily basis.
- read 5 pages
- sleep 7 hours
- drink 120 oz
- walk 30 minutes
- no phone after 10pm
This list seems pretty straightforward. But even as I write this I am operating on 3 hours of sleep due to staying up too late watching I will Find You on netflix. It is such a good show by the way. I HIGHLY recommend it but not at the cost of sleep like I did.
how to make your own summer challenge?
As I have shared previously, I am a certified personal trainer BUT I am not a life coach. However, i do have some tips on how to make your own storyteller athlete lock in challenge if you don’t want to follow mine. Think about -what are certain spiritual, physical and emotional parts of your life that you feel like are lacking. Is it sleep? Lack of exercise? Once you determine the things that you want to improve on, think about small steps that you could take.
For example, since I already exercise 4-5 days in the week, none of my goals says “exercise 5 times a day in the week”. But I had stopped walking more daily so I added that to the plan. I share more in the youtube video above releasing on Sunday.
I hope this storyteller athlete summer lock in inspires you to create your own! Let’s get more strong and creative together!
