Appreciating the Moment

Ok, so there's a cliche saying that life's what happens while you're busy making other plans. Simply put, this means that life is now. It's never tomorrow or yesterday. It's always the present moment. And while striving for a better tomorrow is part of living a purposeful life, it defeats the purpose if we're so stressed over tomorrow that we miss today.

How does this philosophy relate to your fitness goals? Well, I think it just helps to keep a balanced perspective: Goals for improvement? Yes! Dreams for a better tomorrow? Absolutely! But don't forget to give yourself that pat on the back for all you have achieved yesterday and today. And don't forget to look at what is RIGHT with today--not just what is wrong with it-- and stop and breathe in the moment with full gratitude and joy. Without this, you aren't really living..are you?

POWER WORD of the DAY: NOW

POWER QUOTE of the DAY: “If the only prayer you said your whole life was ‘thank you’ that would suffice.” Meister Eckhart

A good read no matter what your background or religion.
