RoP Episode 11 - Finding a Running Purpose
INTRO
Why It Is Important (6:18)
- Stop chasing numbers start letting the process
- Deepens & expands the running process
- Helps develop meaning
- Helps develop balance
- Pulls a beautiful form of expression back into the totality of your life. It is not separate or other. It IS you & you ARE it.
Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Purpose (20:05)
- Intrinsic means it is INSIDE you, it is part of your whole experience as a human being.
- Extrinsic means it is OUTSIDE you, that it is only a part of your experience of being human.
- Why it cannot be extrinsic.
- Flight or Fight
- It can’t be dependent on anything or anyone else. It must be its own ecosystem.
- External reasons don’t usually hold up under late-race pressures: pain, desire to quit, fear of failing, etc.
- This does not mean we don’t set extrinsic goals, it just means that WHY you run has nothing to do with anyone else. Period.
- The question of selfishness
How to get started (36:05)
- It’s a Big Ask, don’t diminish the difficulty & the importance.
- Take your time. Do not rush this process. If you have the time to devote a concentrated & focused period of time to this process that can certainly kickstart the process into overdrive & help you stay on task & in focus. However, it is probably best to set a goal of 3-6 months to have a SoP completed. This allows you to steep your purpose into a strong dark brew.
- Go Deeper
- Brainstorm with Mind Mapping: https://zapier.com/blog/mind-mapping-tutorial/ (40:37)
- Take these notes & use them to compose a Letter to Running (LtR)
