Celebrating Wins

Revel… That’s the new word that I’ve added to my to-do list! 

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know I love words. Intentional, audacious…I love the way words make me feel, a good word also seems to feel good to say and I think when a word resonates it has power. 

So why revel? A couple of weeks ago I got asked by my (life) coach what I do to celebrate my wins. I took a moment, and honestly was a little stumped.

My other type A’s will maybe know the feeling?

I do the thing, then I get on with the next thing! 

So, I get that adding revel to my list seems kinda ironic… But I needed reminding! 

Last week I gave a keynote talk in front of a theatre full of people. I had spent many weeks, prepping, practising, and getting ready for it… And it was a great success. 

So revel, went onto my list – because I did a big thing, and this time I wanted to make sure I acknowledged the time, effort, and feeling that went into the work and gave myself a pat on the back for a job well done! 

… Revel won’t be ticked off, by the way, it’s a daily practice of appreciating all the work I do on a daily basis the big and the small. 

I’d love to know what word would be on your list to remind you to celebrate?

Hi I'm Tanya!

On the trails, I’m an established and respected ultra-distance runner with a passion as big as the challenges I face head (and heels) on. Off the trails, I’m a 40-something mum and self-professed scaredy cat on a mission to show people that you can fear the ‘never seen before’ – and you can conquer it, too.

I’m not ‘just another’ runner, I’m also known as an athlete, storyteller and coach.
