Those participating in the Current Fitness Challenge, how is it going? Give up on Push Ups? or 8-10 Servings of Produce? or Yoga? How are your workouts coming along? Even with struggles, it shouldn't be an all or nothing proposition here....Life is not perfect and neither will anything you do in life (especially not your fitness journey) be perfect, so get over it and move forward!!!! Celebrate your victories, learn from your setbacks, and move forward into your future!!!!!! Tomorrow starts a new mini-Challenge, but it also starts a new month ... so, use that new, fresh start to overcome your obstacles, tackle your challenges, and be who you are meant to be! Use today to reflect on what changes you need to make in your life to make your life easier. Sometimes the smallest change in your behavior, outlook, interaction, to-do list, day, whatever it is, produces the biggest turn around in your journey.
Do this, close your eyes and think of your happiest, most peaceful moment. Whether it be a moment with a person, a perfect day in your life, a vacation, whatever it is.....Now, what about that "happy place" was so happy? What about that event was your bliss? Let's face it, vacations are few and far between for most of us, and perfect days maybe fewer and farther between....Figuring out how to bring our 'happy places' into our daily lives is key to living well, happy, nurtured, and balanced! Need help with this exercise?
Example of what I am talking about. My truest and happiest self (and quite frankly as a result, most productive self) is when I am alone with nature and my Bible in the early morning hours. Outside with a cup of hot tea in the crisp morning air just before sunrise listening to the birds chirping while communing with God in His Word is the best and happiest I ever am in life! What about family, or the beach, or whatever???...Well to me, that time enhances the flavor and moments in all of the rest of my life. If I start my day outside in God's Word, I then savor the moments all the more with my family, am more productive in my day, and negativity doesn't reach my center. Everyone has to find what makes that for them, and all the rest will be in balance!
Find your happy place and find your balance!
