Happy New Year from TCM! We're asking our Motion Experts for three quick tips to help runners get their 2025 in gear.
Here are therapist Katie Mark's tips: Reflect On Your Goodness - Rather than focusing on mistakes or missed goals, try reviewing what you did out of goodness. We are all human and mistakes / missed goals happen. Reflecting on our goodness can aid in lifting our mood.
Accept Uncertainty - Accepting uncertainty can be stressful and challenging at times. But with a positive outlook and some flexibility, we can begin to see uncertainty as potential for new opportunities.
Live in The Present Moment - Many of us tend to dwell on the past or focus on the future. Let's try our best each day to live in the present moment. In doing so, we will experience greater life satisfaction as we begin to live life as we're living it.
Why not get in gear for Get in Gear in 2025? Minnesota's Annual Rite of Spring features a 5K, 10K and the Medtronic Half Marathon running from the cathedral to Minnehaha Park.
