As the year comes to a close – I like to take some time to look at what I have done this year and find new inspiration to start the new year with a renewed commitment to health.
I saw this on a Facebook status this morning:
“Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they believe are negative. A majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures. This year I challenge you to a new resolution. I challenge you to just be yourself.” — Aisha Elderwyn
It resonated with me — and goes along with the quote that continues to inspire me:
Be the Change you wish to see in the world…
—Ghandi
Start living the You, you want to be — if you want to be a fit & healthy person, just start walking the walk – fake it till you make it! There are probably thousands of other metaphors we can come up with to get the point across. Being the best you can be doesn’t mean being perfect either. Living a good life is the goal – acting with good intentions, being kind to yourself and those around you and handling Mother Earth with sensitivity and care. Work on just those actions, and we all have enough to keep us all busy year round!
Thank you for following my journey the past few years — my goal in sharing my story is to offer support and inspiration to anyone out there that wants to come along. Living Fit and Healthy is not always easy and there are peaks and valleys to my journey, but I can honestly say – the benefits I have received and have shared here have brought me more joy and fulfillment, inspiration than I can put into words. The amazing people I have met, the lessons learned, opportunities that have developed, the sense of pride and accomplishment I feel every single day and the amazing physical transformation in myself speaks volumes.
This past year has been one of my best for many reasons. Here are a few stand outs:
my family is healthy
my kids are smart & fun little people
my niece, Amelia was born
I can’t wait to see what next year holds for me — it’s going to be even better!
