Now you may ask, “What is she talking about? THE day? What day?” Actually, today is just a day, one that is brand new, never lived before AND never to come again!! Meaning this 24 hours is all you have to live today. Is it spent in ways that make you happy? Ways that make you think and ponder? Maybe you spend part of it in meditation, part in exercise, part in preparing and eating healthy foods. Maybe you spend part in aimless activities that neither give you nor anyone else energy, power or true happiness.
I’ve been spending my early morning in meditation, reviewing my vision – my ideal life, and then I head for the high school track, where I walk. I’m tracking my activity on my phone, and have yet to reach the 10,000 steps mark, although I get close. Since this is only my second week of walking, and I’ve been dealing with shin splints and low back issues the whole way, I’m not too bothered by the numbers. I’m happy and rejoice in the fact that I get up and go do it, rain or shine. Also that the shin splints aren’t as bad now as they were and my back doesn’t hurt as bad as it did. AND I feel so much better the rest of the day. I also take time each evening to meditate, and note the many reasons I have for gratitude. Some days I do spend more time than I’d like on non-productive (to me anyway) activities, and other days I’m like a ball of fire and get much accomplished that I feel so very proud of and satisfied. I’ve learned to relish each small step, take pride in anything that I do, and really enjoy the completion.
I am a much happier person, and I’m often surprised and tickled, when others notice and comment on my happy appearance, my genuine smile that comes with sparkling eyes, and my positive outlook. My stress levels are almost nonexistent, my step is much lighter, and my joy more evident.
I am, after all, a Transformational Life Coach, and I practice what I preach! 🙂 I find that the more I practice, the better I get, the more alive I feel, the happier I am, and the closer to my dreams I’m moving. So, remember, any day is THE day, the only one you’ll get. Make it count for you, your life, your family, your dream. I’m sending love your way.
