A run for the mind to become clear!

[aruvi]

Hello! I am new to this entire health journey. Being a professional dancer, I never wanted to run or jog. But thanks to situations, I had to leave all that behind. Leading a depressed, sedentary life style, working in a not so great, too-much-of-work company, I thought I can never be fit physically. Plus I had never thought I can get out of my bed for something like this at all. But my brother introduced this Couch to 5k and he helped me with so much of my shyness and problems on the First week first run. And today, I was determined to continue. I just thought maybe this will help a little with ny depression. And oh boy, I feel good now about myself. I live in a place, with not much proper roads, no proper grounds. So I hesitated so much to run. But thanks to my early morning rise today, I was so happy seeing the sun so beautiful when I jogged. Surprisingly, I felt it easier to do this than I thought. After my run, I had a short meditation. And it was even more effective. I guess it is a good start. I want to not give up, as I have given up so many such ideas previously. Hoping to graduate with distinction!

Good for you. That’s the spirit 😀

I’m sure most of us would dream of being a professional dancer. That must take loads of hard work and commitment. Sacrifice too. You should have all the tools in your box therefore to be a fine candidate for this programme. And beyond of course

Good luck. See you st the finish line Slow and steady remember 👍

Go you! Most importantly enjoy yourself: running is yet another way to relate to space and our environment, and to our bodies. So you'll definitely get a lot of benefits but no pressure: take your time!
