Thank you for sharing your process and leaning into honest vulnerability, I know it isn’t that easy but it’s so important to share this message. Celebrating you for being kinder to yourself. 🌸
This is a great reminder that growth isn’t always linear. Some days we’ll crush our goals, and other days we’ll need to give ourselves a break. And that’s perfectly okay. It doesn’t mean we’ve failed; it just means we’re human. Thank you for sharing your journey, Ryan. It’s a comforting reminder to be kinder to ourselves and embrace the imperfection of it all.
I definitely relate to the journey of athletic training, comparison, and finally getting to a place of simply moving the body and listening to what my body is saying each day! Slowing down and not comparing is vital, yet counter-cultural!
This: "Now I know that my job isn’t to impress anyone. It’s to take care of myself." It's taken me way too long to understand this, but now it's about treating my body and spirit the right way, not the popular way.

I appreciate hearing confirmation from your experience, Alex. You're thoughtful, observant, and wise.

I like the way you say this, Mike. It's heartening to hear you've developed a wiser, more intimate relationship with your body.
Outstanding article Ryan! Even so, it's the title I keep returning to during the day. Thanks for the thought-provoking topic.
I'm glad the title is staying in your mind. As you imply, sometimes a pithy title is the most valuable takeaway. Thanks for commenting, Mike.
Impressive. We are human beings, human doings lol 😂!
Truly speaking, side-hustle culture has made us human doings indeed.
I can't claim credit, my friend. But it's a great saying nonetheless. I agree; side hustle culture can contribute to human doing.
Our best can look different everyday! :)
Yes!
Turning within, what is essential is revealed
So very true.
Great piece!!✨
Thanks, Richa!
Ryan, You've come a long way and what a good place you're in!
If only it were an actual place. I lost my way yet again and am finding my way back home. Hopefully, I will learn 'for good' this time.

So good to hear, Nancy. I admire you.
