During List-cember—a series of list based posts I do in December—I usually post a blog that lists 25 things that have inspired me throughout the year. I used to only post it once a year, but in July of last year, I realized that there is never really a wrong time to share inspirational things.

So, I’ve made it a biannual thing. And since it’s already July (lol, what?) it’s that time of year! Let’s dive on in.

1) This 2019 game plan by @hannahbrencher

.

2) This song by Maren Morris

.

3) This line from the movie Unicorn Store:

.

4) The Dawn Wall & Free Solo (and pretty much rock climbing in general)

.

5) This #10YearChallenge post by Julianne Hough about finding your authentic self:

.

6) This video by Liza Koshy that was equal parts hilarious as it was a fun celebration of peoples’ (weird, but impressive) talents:

.

7) The Rise Podcast

I got into this podcast last year, but some episodes from this year have really hit me in the feels.

8) You’re a Badass by Jen Sincero

Some of my favorite quotes from the book are:

“How you do one thing is how you do everything.”

“Put yourself out there and you never know what you might learn that will inform your next move, or whom you might meet that will present you with your next opportunity.”

“Do your best wherever you’re at.”

“Everything you do along your journey contributes to where you’re going.”

“Get to the point where you have both unwavering faith and unwavering gratitude for that which you desire.”

9) This reminder:

.

10) The 30 for 30 podcast

(Especially the episode “Six Who Sat” which got me fired up for the marathon.)

.

11) The LA Marathon

I wrote an entire blog post to commemorate my experience running the LA Marathon this year and I could probably write 10 more.

.

12) Jenna Marbles

She makes videos on YouTube just doing things she likes/has always wanted to try/thought might be funny, etc. and I love it! Here are two of my favorites:

13) This:

.

14) Booksmart

Namely the friendship between the two main characters and the fact that they talk to each other like this:

.

15) “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford

.

16) The US Women’s National Soccer Team

Because, obviously.
