Practice: The “Next Chapter” Reflection
📖 Journaling Exercise
Find a quiet space. Reflect on these questions, answering as honestly and intuitively as possible.
-
Looking Back:
- What moments from this training cycle felt the most meaningful?
- When did I feel the most like my true self?
- What have I learned about myself through this process?
-
Redefining Success:
- If I erased numbers and rankings, how would I define success for myself?
- What emotions do I want my training to bring out in me?
-
Looking Forward:
- What kind of athlete do I want to be in my next chapter?
- What goal excites me—not just because it’s impressive, but because it feels right?
- What’s one small, daily intention I can carry into my next training cycle?
🌱 Final Step: The Letter to Future You
Write a short letter to yourself, to be read six months from now.
- Encourage yourself.
- Remind yourself of what truly matters.
- Tell yourself what you hope you never forget about this journey.
Final Thought
This is not an ending—it’s a transition.
You are not the same athlete you were 24 weeks ago.
You have grown.
And now, the next journey begins.
Run with heart. Train with soul. Keep becoming.
