Last week my win was realizing that my backpack was loaded down with self doubts and other self defeating behaviors that are holding me back. This week has been a challenge, as I've tried pulling those things out of my pack, and have found that they've melted together and cemented themselves to the bottom over the years of carrying this with me through all sorts of environments. They won't budge. I'm going to have to spend some time chipping away at this mess before I can even start preparing for my climb. That feels discouraging, but I refuse to haul all of this with me, and ditching the pack isn't a viable option. So, I suppose I've spent some time this week pouting about this realization, but nothing will change if I just keep sitting here feeling sorry for myself. It's time to break out the elbow grease!
