Round โœŒ๏ธ down South this weekend at Teretonga.

Looks like we've got a wet couple of days of testing ahead of us.

Itโ€™s Mental Health Awareness Week.

It took me a long time to separate my self-worth from my results on the race track. 

For most of my life, that's been what has defined me.

In navigating this, ED (disordered eating) and situational depression Iโ€™ve cultivated a toolkit keep me from tumbling too far down the slippery slope during inevitable downtimes.

These arenโ€™t hot takes.

Youโ€™ve probably heard them all before, either individually or a combination of...

โœจ Purpose โ€” finding and dedicating yourself to something that lights your fire
๐Ÿซต Community โ€” the power of *real* human connection
๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿป Movement โ€” anything will do (my go-toโ€™s are running and yoga)
โ˜€๏ธ Nature + Sunlight โ€” get outside
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Nutrition โ€” food is medicine

These tools have worked for me โ€” but they're not a catch-all. They require daily work.

If youโ€™re struggling and donโ€™t know where to start, perhaps you can give them a try too.

Take a moment this week to reflect on how you manage your own mental health, and to check up on those around you.
