I still find myself over doing it every now and then
I still find myself over doing it every now and then.
I want to say yes to the instant gratification and all of the money.
I want to ignore the fact that I need to sleep and recover.
I sometimes want to be Liz before my daughter instead of “mom.”
The difference is now, when I push myself too far and my body amusingly reminds me to slow down (anybody past the age of 40 knows exactly what I’m talking about), I don’t beat myself up about it like I used to.
It’s okay to sprint, jog, rest and recover. It doesn’t make me less of a tattooer, mom, entrepreneur or just Lizzie on the tough days, when I’m over running the marathon.
