Be Unstoppable
Today as I was writing in my gratitude journal and reflecting on my goals, I began to question, am I in tune with what I really want? Do I really have plan in place that is setting me on the path to success? Are my goals still in line with what I value the most right now? We all experience burn out and doubt. Sometimes those nagging feelings are our true self calling us to re-evaluate what we really want. Is the goal we are working toward really going to bring the success that helps us find fulfillment and happiness. Sometimes we need to slow down to speed up. Write a mission statement for your life, set goals that reflect that mission, put a plan with each step you need to achieve that goal. Wishes are nice, but a goal with a plan makes you unstoppable.
Find Your Purpose
If You Are At Peace
Todays motivation Monday quote come from our book club book, You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero. In our online discussion this weekend, one of our readers shared that this quote spoke to her. I woke up this morning wanting to take on a 14 day challenge that I have attempted before and have not been successful. I immediately began to think about my past failure and what temptations might side track me. This quote made me recognize that I am derailing myself by not just staying in the moment, enjoying the present and actually creating anxiety that does not need to exist. Letting our past attempts define what we can accomplish in the present sets us up for another perceived failure from the beginning. We need to start with our head high. If we must look back, remember a time you felt like your best self, focus on your personal strengths and use that to work towards your goal. More important, changing the goal to self improvement through positive change and not just running to a finish line, helps us connect to our true purpose and express our true selves.
Today I Choose…
This spoke to my soul today. No matter what you face, you get to choose. I am filled with gratitude for this day. I am going to choose a cup of coffee in peace, a laugh in my classes, a hug from my husband, a smile or text from my kids. Even if my house is messy or I don’t live up to my own expectations. I treasure the opportunity that I have tomorrow.
Do What You Can
Yesterday I was so inspired by a woman who came to my Zumba Gold class for the 1st time. She let me know she had never taken Zumba. She was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s and has just started boxing and wants to add Gold to her schedule. She had a choice when she received her diagnosis, and she is choosing to live life, try new things and become stronger mind and body. I want to follow in her lead, I hope her story motivates you as well. Get out there and do what you can.
We Hold Our Destiny
