This is going to be short and sweet. My 8 year old laptop is failing and restarts often. I just got back from the apple store and they said they don’t work on anything older than five years. As I’m writing this, three sentences in, it has already restarted. Maybe I’ll have a new computer next week, perhaps you won’t hear from me for a while. Either way, thank you for continuing to open these letters.
Growth Mindset
Here is a podcast a friend shared with me about adventure athletes and professional skiers talking about the importance of mental health in the outdoor industry.
Chatting with a friend over coffee, they asked me about this new boy I’m dating. I told them all about how he is kind, respectful and encouraging. They said’ “Oh good. I almost had a talk with you about how you need to choose better people to date.” - a general consensus with my friends. They continued to say they have always had good luck with the people they dated because they were so picky. “Instead of dating whoever, I focused on myself. Once I met someone so amazing that I couldn’t help but spend all my time with them, then I would commit to dating them.” I’m not sure why this never occurred to me, but just in case it hasn’t occurred to you either, I wanted to pass on this information.
Yoga Class
This class is amazing! “Yoga for when you’re feeling frazzled” was filmed the day after my computer restarted five times in less than two hours in the middle of me trying to complete an important interview. I woke up late, left the house late, forgot my yoga mat and showed up to Instagram live unable to do anything but sigh and start to shake it out. It’s a little different from my normal flow but it is so so good!
