This week I am writing something of a “motivational blog”. All week I have heard a number of people talk about how difficult it is to “get on track”.
I started to wonder why have so many people “fallen off the wagon”?
It seems like February is a difficult month. It comes in between the seasons. Remember the holiday season where we made our new years resolutions to get fit and healthy? We were all so eager to shed those holiday pounds from the many parties that we attended. We exercised and ate right like there was no tomorrow! But, alas, the winter clothes in the store windows have slowly vanished (thanks to 75% markdowns!) and pastel colored shoes and clothes are now making their way in vogue! And yes, Spring is right around the corner, which leads us to bathing suit weather (yikes!).
And so, here we are, staring at pink and red m&m’s and chocolate truffle hearts (stay calm, you can have your dark chocolate treat for next week’s Valentine’s Day) and wondering how to get back to yourself!
The answer is easy, but takes work. It comes from within! A really great friend, who’s also an incredibly talented artist, (you can see her work here at www.emk-art.com) gave me a resin painting (ok, she didn’t give it to me, I kind of took from her studio) and it’s now front and center in my kitchen (of all places!). It says DO SOME THING.It is so inspirational to me! The motivation to make something happen can only happen when we take action. It comes from a deep place within your soul and the only way we can change is to bring it on, to do some thing!
So, directly speaking to those of you who want to get back on track, to find yourself again…go! You know what you have to do, so go for it. Don't wait for tomorrow, do it today! Push yourself to be the best you can be, to exercise for yourself, to eat right for yourself, and to take a moment to breathe for yourself.
