""It's not about you". Everyone is fighting a battle that we know nothing about, this does not excuse their behaviour but it helps you understand why people are the way they are."
Love this. It was such a crucial lesson for me, especially in terms of social anxiety, self consciousness and self esteem. While I still struggle at times, reminding myself of this fact helps me navigate tricky situations where I feel like people are judging me.
I was chatting to a patient the other day and we talked about running too fast and I likened it to when you're driving on the parkway keeping up with the flow of traffic and then realise you're speeding. hahaha. Running is very similar, just running with the runners and then you're out of breath and realise you're running too fast.
Nice one, Clare!

Great read Clare!
"I can't talk and run at the same time" - You're missing the best part of running! Slow down!

Great analogy! Gotta go at your pace, and be ok letting the speeding drivers overtake you.
