Have you ever been convinced that you would never be able to do something ever again? Or, maybe during this season of COVID, you've been making lists of things you'll never do again?⁠⁠⁠⁠A few years ago, I was completely bedridden and unable to walk. Being is such a terrible physical state left me in a pretty bad mental state too. I would lay in bed making lists of all the things I was certain I would never ever be able to do again.⁠⁠⁠⁠Now that time has passed, I have been going back to that list and attempting to do the things I never thought I would do again. For the first #vlog on my #YouTube channel, I am excited to take you along on one of these adventures!⁠⁠⁠⁠After losing the ability to walk, mountain hiking was completely out of the question. But, last week, I went mountain hiking for the first time in almost 10 years! It was hard. At times, I didn't think I could keep going. But, it was totally worth it and helped in my continued journey of transforming my mindset.⁠⁠⁠⁠I hope you will enjoy watching this first vlog and that it inspires you to take steps to do something seemingly impossible!⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find the vlog by copying/pasting the following link or by clicking the YouTube link in my bio. youtu.be/uLNhltbieXc ...
