I’m writing this on my iPhone, which is at 10% power. That means I have no time to edit. My writing coach says we should write like that sometimes, without going back to correct, without editing, just an almost stream of consciousness getting from point A to B.
How much energy would you be saving if you didn’t edit everything about yourself? We edit what we put on social media, we edit how we write, we edit what we say, we edit how we feel.
For Thursday’s energy challenge, cut out the editing. If not in everything, in something. Like waiting until you have exactly the right way of saying something before you say it. Let us know in the comments how that went.
As for the workout:
21 squats (weighted if possible), 21 lunge steps each leg, Bear walk back to your starting point
15 squats, 15 lunge steps, bear walk back
9 squats, 9 lunge steps, bear walk back

Done! Legs feel like linguini…lol Already failed the no-edit challenge being too nice to someone who’s been evading me, but I’m going to be around people for the next 8 hours. I’ll have another chance!

Done.
But if I were to shun editing myself, I’d be Louise Penny’s character Ruth Zardo, who answers the phone with, rather than “Hello,” “What the hell do you want?”

Done! I held back from “responding to they comments” online today and decided this saved me much time and mental stress.

Done!
I thought about not editing myself each and every time my supervisor interrupted me, talked over me, and appropriated my ideas as his own during a meeting. (Hey, at least I’m aware of the editing….I am pretty certain that if I hadn’t edited myself it would have backfired, so I’m just going to have to develop a different strategy. )

I love bear crawls so much and sometimes (lots of times) even when it’s not a workout I crawl around and growl like a bear just because.
