GROUSE GRIND

Remember that you are invited to hike the Grouse Grind TOMORROW - bring a note from your parents (permission) and meet at the school at 8:45, ready to board the bus.
Bring water, wear gym strip, bring a phone in case of emergency.
It will be so fun!  Come if you can.

Investing in yourself

I find myself thinking about the concept of investing in yourself as we are working on improving our fitness in our Get Fit class.  Investing time and energy into improving your fitness takes courage - you have to work hard and believe in yourself.  We just watched the Dove True Beauty sketches in class, where women judged their own appearances very harshly - people who they had just met described their appearance in much more flattering terms.  I think that the same thing happens for many of us when we consider our physical abilities - we judge ourselves too harshly. Sometimes others can see your potential more clearly than you can.  

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? - Marianne Williamson

How about changing your mindset and investing some time and energy into yourself? Maybe it will help you see yourself in a different way. Maybe you will find that you are worth the effort.
