This past week has been pretty busy that I didn't have time to actually blog to you about it. I actually chose to meditate with a few minutes of my spare time instead. It is interesting how much you learn about yourself when you take the time for yourself. I reflect on things in the recent past and how I can utilize that for a better more positive today. Here are the three things that resonated for me this past week.
1. Uncluttered space equals a less cluttered brain- So one of my resolutions this year is doing some deep cleaning and going through all the things I have in my house. Every evening last week, I made it a point to spend 10 minutes to unclutter a certain space. That means getting rid of things I don't use or haven't used for a while and then reorganizing what I have left. A cluttered space has a direct impact on how you feel and can make you feel more stressed and frustrated. This can negatively impact your daily performance and creativity. 2. Consistency of exercise- I have been doing regular exercising on and off for the last 5 years. This year my goal is to hit 30/min daily. So far I have been consistent for the last 3 weeks and let me tell you this... I am loving that feeling again. Not necessarily looking good but feeling good. Regaining my core strength has alleviated my back pain, body aches, and improved my flexibility. Of course there are days that I would rather do something else other than exercise but I tell myself its only 30 minutes and its for me and my body. My favorites have been strength training, biking, yoga, and pilates. 3. Appreciate life daily- Tragedy is happening all around us. This past week some deadly storms not only took peoples' homes but also some lives. I also read a story of my childhood idol/singer who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease several years ago at the tender age of 37. In life, unfortunate things will always happen. It is not always what happens but how we choose to handle it. Some of the most positive and brave people are those that have the least or are less fortunate. What are some takeways on life that you have for last week? Feel free to share.
