This hasn't stopped since I started hiking on one of the most busiest trails around here.
At least once a week I hear: should you be doing this, are you okay, is this your first time hiking, you need to be doing something else, etc...
Ugh! Guess what I wanna hear. I'm proud of you, you go girl, you got this...which I do now get to hear.
I actually confronted someone with this after she told me I should go on a easier trail. Well I told her this "This is MY CHALLENGE, I don't care if I stop hundred times, as long as I get to where I'm going I'm happy." The lady patted me on the shoulder. smiled and walked away.
Do you know what? That same lady is my hiking bud I get to see. We have short conversations everytime I see her. She is now one of my biggest cheerleaders. Wow! Who would have thought that? She tells me when I look like I'm shrinking, she says wow you are going faster. I didn't expect it.
Now when people say stuf like that I love stunning them when I tell them 3times a week, I've beeen doing this for almost 8months now.
Guess what I learned, to set boundaries with people like that. Have something in mind when people want to stomp on you too.
Don't let them haters get to you.
