MOTIVATION AND STAMINA - WE ALL HAVE IT

Good Morning everyone!  A mixed day ahead weather wise today.  Maybe some rain, maybe some sun.  However you are going to spend it, make it meaningful to you.  I am going to take a yoga class later today.  I haven't taken a formal yoga class in years!  I've done it at home but I haven't even done that for quite some time.  I will take it slow as although I do exercise, yoga is something completely different and I don't relish the idea of being in pain afterwards.

Classes are fun once in a while.  It does work to get you more motivated than when you work out by yourself.  You can't help but look at the person next to you and try either to keep up and do better.  You just don't want to show off and try and do something you can't.  Always listen to your body because it will tell you either softly or loudly!  I am excited for class today though and am looking forward to that group energy.

Today's quote, "You have more stamina than you think - more motivation than you are aware - fuel your dreams with both."  This quote goes deeper than a yoga class but I can use this as a way of understanding.  That desire to go the extra mile and push yourself in order to achieve what you want no matter what it is.  If it is an exercise class that you want to attend but feel you can't because it has been too long and you think you would look foolish.  Well - foolish to who?  Be proud of yourself for going in the first place.

Misery can be a great motivator.  How long do you or anyone want to remain in a situation that no longer serves them?  If all you are doing now is thinking about how to get out of it be proud of that too as that is a start in the right direction.  Nothing changes or gets accomplished from wishing.  It is desire, stamina and motivation.  You need all three.  When that desire for change is stronger than complacency things will be different because it is at that moment you will decide it to be!  Wish me luck in class today!  Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody!~Love, Amy
