So, I'm running late in getting to the gym. I get here and discover that I don't have my swimsuit to put on after my treadmill class. Oh, crap! Now what?
The original plan was to do the treadmill class, get in a swim and aqua volleyball, then finish up with core workout class to prepare for the holiday season. A few years ago I would have had an all or nothing mindset, gone home frustrated, and ate something heavy while sulking in front of the television, nodding off to zombie land!!! Not a pretty picture people!!!!
That was then, this is now!
I realize that all or nothing thinking does not help me on my journey. Things always seem to happen to throw my schedule and plans off track. (I can't believe I missed almost two weeks of treadmill classes..what in the word was I thinking?) But, I am growing in my awareness to adapt and overcome.
I accept my frustrations and anxieties while being committed to honoring my vows to myself. I discovered today that the word "marry" is a nautical term that means interweaving two pieces of rope to make a stronger bond.
So I interweave my heart with my mind, my body with my spirit, my frustrations with my acceptance emerging into a stronger me on the inside and out as I cherish and love myself.
I encourage you Cherish, yourself!! Love yourself!!
Growth is insight with sustained behavioral change. Live in the present and remain open to the possibilities all around you. You never know what opportunities may present themselves.
As a result of not having my swimsuit I worked out harder in treadmill class. Afterward, while I trying to control my breathing, I shared that I had a lot of time on my hands before my next class so I, was invited to share my story with a class of people just starting their journey.
I am truly humbled and honored if my journey can bless others on theirs.
Peace & Blessings On Your Journey
