Say Yes To Yourself

I had another great tennis lesson this morning followed by my favorite post game meal/breakfast: keto nut granola, Greek yogurt deconstructed parfait bowl. Mmmm yum!

I had never really played tennis before last year. I had only attempted to hit the ball with a racket a few times in my younger days just fooling around on the court with friends. I played about 6 times last year, none of which were very good because I didn’t know what I was doing or how the game was played.

I started playing again this year about a month ago and I have been playing 2-3 times a week still trying to learn the game and get used to hitting the ball. These matches have been a great learning tool, but nothing beats an actual lesson.

Today was my 3rd lesson and I am finally starting to gain some skills. Taking lessons has shown me all the things I didn’t know about tennis and how the sport, like most sports, has more skill than is obvious to the observer.

I know you may not care what I do or what I eat, but I hope you care about you! Care about learning something new, care about picking back up something you enjoyed doing in your past, care about eating food you like that makes you feel good, basically, just care about taking care of yourself.

My whole reason for discussing anything about my life is to inspire you to think about the life you want and feel empowered to takes steps to create it. Maybe you don’t want to play a sport or eat to lose weight.

Maybe instead, you want to paint a mural in your living room or eat the food that was your favorite as a child. Maybe you want to watch every game your team plays this season, maybe you want to make the perfect sauce for wings. Whatever your thing is, the thing you have been putting off doing, I want you to say yes to it.

Say yes to something good you have been saying no to for way too long.

Say yes to a dream, say yes to a goal, say yes to something you think may be too silly try, say yes to an adventure. Say yes to you!
