Small Changes

Ok…so how did last week look for you??

In my last blog, I talked about getting a better balance in life with work, exercise, healthy eating and getting back into some kind of routine. I’m posting my second blog so this is good start!

I also decided, if getting to the gym were too difficult, I’d set my alarm earlier and get up and go for a run. The alarms goes off at 6:00 am, and trust me, I'd rather stay in bed! But my goal was to at least do some kind of exercise each day with no excuses!

There’s something about the mornings; it truly is such an amazing part of the day. What I like is that it’s a new day. I get to choose my mood. I say to myself, “I choose to be in a good mood today” and it really works. :-) I see it as my time and I get to think about the day ahead and how I’m feeling. I take some deep breaths and feel lucky I’m healthy and alive! So many of us really do sweat the small stuff and put more worry on ourselves than we need to.

Every one of us has their own little story of what might be happening in their lives or what has happened in our lives. Some of us share our story with friends or our partner, and some of us just keep it to ourselves, trying to figure out what we truly want and why we feel the way we do.

Spending time on your own and taking some you time can be really therapeutic. Give yourself some time just to be you and ask yourself what's really important to you and how do I want to feel?

I do this often and put my thoughts into the universe. And trust me, some things have come back to me. My Nana (whom I adore) always told me, “If you don't believe you won't receive”. Such wise words from a woman who is now 94 and was married for 68 years!

On that note, I truly hope you are having a great week and have made your own small changes. Good for you if you have!

Here’s my challenge to you for this week: think of two things you'd like to change, big or small. These changes could be about yourself, the way you treat others, exercising, meal planning, or just your general outlook on life! You are in control. Don’t let others crush your dreams or get in the way of what's important to you.
