As I entered my sense of stillness and silence, I focused on my desire to be fit. I have been lacking in this area for quit some time now! Today, I had been struggling with working out because of the weather condition outdoors. It has been gloomy all day. I discovered that the weather has always played an initial role in my daily and physical performance. For many years, I have tried to overcome this by refocusing my attention elsewhere...work, friends, family etc. Today, I decided to let my own sunshine in by thinking about happy times with those family and friends, and reflecting back on some fun memories. Although I realize that there will always be rainy and gloomy days, I have decided that I must not let this interfere with my mood and performance.
I truly believe that it may be beneficial for me to get a workout partner, someone who is upbeat and enjoy working out just as much as I do. Putting on some upbeat music can assist me with getting out of this slump and push me to work harder on myself and my physical requirements. Taking time to pray and ask for a sense of peace during these difficult times is also a great start. Although the weather may prevent me from a good run, every now and then, finding another alternative (upbeat workout videos, utilizing my home equipment etc.) will help me achieve my daily fitness goal! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Keesha,
ReplyDeleteI think it's great your starting to reframe. (every cloud has a silver lining). This positive way of thinking can really boost our self-esteem and image. My suggestion to you would be TaeBo. I started doing it 10years ago. It's not only a fun workout, but a great stress reliever as well. I also have a "Gazelle" (airwalker), which is more expensive but I "swing" to the beat of the music, and doesn't feel like your working out at all. I'm not a big gym person and can never find someone to go with. You don't necessarily have to "workout either. Go to the local Y and play basketball, swim, jog or whatever. I like to go there to change it up in the winter when I get bored. good luck, and let me know if you find anything that you like. :)
Suggestions? Sure, I have one! Move out here and I will be your workout buddy! Hehe! Seriously though, Keesha...I think you are doing a great job and just knowing how far you have come and seeing how much improvement you have made over these past months I know you are going in the right direction! Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!
ReplyDeleteI am really glad that you are noticing what you need to fix in your workout regimine. It can become very challenging to find someone to workout with. Some people start and then drop off soon after. I would maybe suggest going to a gym or even hiring a trainer to motivate you for a few sessions. Its getting started that is difficult. If you need any help please ask. I can do the best I can. Good luck!!! Never give up!!!!!
