In the chaos of our everyday lives, it’s all too easy to let our own needs take a backseat. Whether it’s work, family, or endless to-do lists, we often put everything—and everyone—before ourselves. But here’s the truth: you can’t be the best version of yourself for those who need you most if you’re not investing in you.
That’s why at Good Vibe Ride, we live by the motto: Do Sh!T You Love.
This mantra is more than just a fun phrase—it’s a reminder that you deserve to prioritize yourself, your happiness, and your well-being. Finding time to do what brings you joy is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. It fills your cup so that you can show up as the best version of yourself for your loved ones, your career, and your life.
Why Finding Time for You Matters
We often hear people say, “I don’t have time for myself,” and while it feels valid, we need to shift that mindset. The reality is, when you invest in yourself—whether through fitness, hobbies, or anything that brings you joy—you’re recharging in ways that will make you more present, more engaged, and more energized in all areas of your life.
For many, indoor cycling is that space. It’s not just about the physical benefits; it’s about the emotional release, the mental clarity, and the community support that come with it. Cycling can bring up unexpected emotions—the energy in the room, the music, and the physical challenge often make us tap into deeper feelings we didn’t even know we were holding onto. When you give yourself permission to ride through it, to embrace the emotions and let go, you’re doing more than just exercising—you’re healing.
How to Do Sh!T You Love and Make It a Priority
It doesn’t matter what your “thing” is—whether it’s cycling, hiking, painting, or reading—what matters is that you make time for it. Carve out space in your busy schedule to do something that fills you up. Here are a few tips to help you make you a priority:
- Identify What You Love: If you haven’t already found that thing that sparks joy and fuels your soul, take time to explore. Try different activities until something clicks.
- Schedule Time for It: Just like you schedule meetings, family time, or errands, block out time in your calendar for yourself. Treat it like an appointment that can’t be canceled.
- Release the Guilt: It’s easy to feel guilty for spending time on yourself, but remember—when you’re fulfilled, you’re more available to others. You’re showing up as the best version of yourself, and that benefits everyone around you.
- Find Your Tribe: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you in doing what you love. This is why community matters—whether it’s at a cycling studio, a book club, or any group that shares your passion, having people around you who understand makes the journey even better.
You Deserve the Best—Start by Making Yourself a Priority
At Good Vibe Ride, we believe that when you invest in yourself and do sh!t you love, everything else in your life starts to align. You find more joy, more balance, and more strength to face whatever comes your way.
So go out there and find what fills your cup. Make it a priority, not an afterthought. Whether you’re pushing through a challenging ride or diving into a creative project, remember—you deserve the best, and it starts by putting you first.
