Today’s blog post is brought to you by NPSD Tribe Member X. We all show up for different reasons, with different backgrounds, different problems, different motives, and different expectations. But the one thing we undoubtedly share in common is clear – we show up. We show up for ourselves, we show up for our community, and we show up for each other. This morning, we noticed you, and so did Tribe Member X. But don’t take it from us…
“I Noticed You Today!
Hey… you! Psst, yeah… YOU! I just wanted to tell you something really quick: I noticed you! You may be thinking: Who? Me? And, yup, I’m talking to you! I just wanted you to know I noticed you’re here! I noticed the effort it took for you to wake up early this morning to get here… I noticed your desire to find a place where you finally fit in… a community to which you can “belong”… I noticed when you said that things aren’t necessarily going well for you in life right now when I asked you to tell me about yourself during the workout… I noticed the way you look at other tribe members with that look of comparison and shame, comparing your body to theirs, sheepishly tugging on your hoodie sleeves with the palm of your hands… I noticed that you ran up that hill with every ounce of power in your body, with every fiber of your being… I noticed you wipe the sweat from your forehead and that tiniest grin on your face when we were done the workout, having accomplished something just for yourself and no one else. I noticed you!
And in case you thought otherwise, you’re welcome here! This is your family, this is your home, this is your tribe! And as such, family looks out for each other, so if you’re struggling, whether it’s with getting in shape and staying motivated when your body yells and screams at you or it’s something going on outside of November Project, I’ve got you! We’ve all got you! Just keep showing up, and even if you don’t believe me at first, keep coming back! Because I’m here, we’re all here. And even though I’m still relatively new to the tribe myself, if I have anything to say about this crazy, weird family, is that you’re welcome here! So know that whatever is going on in your life, good or bad, you have a place at my morning workout! I noticed you today!” -Tribe Member X
