Rex, do you enjoy starting a new job?

Well, it's been a while since I've moved to a new job.

There are some things that are exciting about it.

It takes me a while to hit my stride.

Hit your stride?

Isn't that about running?

It can be.

Your stride is the steps you take when you're walking or running.

When you start running a race, your stride won't be as long or as fast as it can be.

Oh, but as you keep running eventually, your stride becomes better and better.

Exactly.

Eventually, you hit your stride.

Basically, you start running smoothly and easily.

We can say the same for other things in life.

Let me think.

How about a new school year?

Sure.

Students might start the year slowly, but if they hit their stride, they're working hard and getting good scores.

And once you hit your stride in a new job, you're confident and things go smoothly.

So don't worry if things aren't perfect at first.

Just keep going until you hit your stride.

Hit your stride? Because everything is familiar to you.

Stride has the meaning of steps.

Hit your stride means to enter a very natural and smooth state.

You'll be more confident and hard-working when you do things.

Apart from work, hit your stride can also describe finding a new school or any new environment.
