Just Do It. This is going to be one of my mantras for awhile. I'm done talking about what I want to do or what I need to do, because I realize talking doesn't get anything done, only Action does. With that said, I have declared that I will be exercising at least 3 times a week. This is my personal goal and at some point it will increase. I'm doing this for ME, so that I can reduce my chance of heart disease (the no. 1 killer of women), I'm doing this for ME, so I can make sure I am fit and healthy as I age. I'm doing this for ME, because if I don't take care of my body, it will Fail ME, and I don't have time to be down for the count.
I'm excited for those of you who have jumped on the 3 days a week bandwagon with me, while others are still trying to get in some type of exercise on a regular basis. I'm glad everyone is making small steps for big change. Remember taking the stairs instead of the elevator, counts. Carrying mulch from the car to the yard, counts. Parking at the far end of the parking lot counts. Those 10 minutes it takes to walk from your car to your building, counts (add some pep to your step). Let me encourage everyone, that the goal of this exchange is to get moving...move more than you were when you started this over 6 weeks ago and to get healthier. Make a conscious effort to take care of your body, mind and soul. Numerous studies have shown that diet and exercise can lead to healthier living and reduced medical issues and costs. When you nourish the mind and soul it helps with stress reduction and assists with making better decisions. Everyone on this journey to change has a schedule that is packed to the max. With our maxed out, filled to the rim schedules, we need to remember to take care of ourselves. We need to recharge our batteries on a regular basis. We all have a To Do List, whether it is mental or written down. Is your name on your To Do List? It's time we put ourselves on our To Do List. I challenge everyone to get out your To Do List--and add "ME" to the top!

Spend 10 - 15 minutes a day to reflect on what you are grateful for. Write them down. Reflect often.
Thoughts to make you go hmmmm....
Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind ~ Anonymous

ReplyDeleteI tell my family all the time, I have to stay well because they won't take care of me the way I take care of them. And its true. As mother's, wives... we take care of others far better than they'd take care of us, or we take care of ourselves.
Good for you!
