Don't 💩💩💩 on your wins! I was excited to see I got the best score of the day, but just as soon as I thought "Yes, celebrate!" I received the electric shock of shame disguised as humility, "Don't get too excited Brian, there have only been two classes today." What is that? Well @brenebrown tells us that "when we lose of capacity to be vulnerable, joy becomes foreboding." I didn't wanna soften into pride and excitement because it might be taken away from me. And by rehearsing the loss of that high I'm orphaning my own joy. 🤕 So in this moment, sweaty and beaten, I'm called to snuggle up to gratitude, my silent, warm support that feeds my inner cheerleader and make a haven for vulnerability and joy. I get to be proud, I get to be joyful and I get to celebrate... Sure cuz I "earned" it by mostly because I allowed it by not chasing it away. 👑 I have to share the spotlight with my 745am bud @harrisonbarnes07 who beat me for time and @djdougiedoug and @ericasedge my encouraging and ass-kicking coaches. 🏋🏼 #crossfit #crossfitopen2016 #bricknation #auditionlife #setlife #castinglife #actorslife #inspiration #filmmaking #headshots #hollywood #success #inspire #motivation #actorsalon #squadgoals #backstage #casting #pleasebeworking #selflove #coach #coachlife #myactortribe #achievetogether #dontgoitalone #sag #sagaftra
