Hello Teamers! Hot and healthy day in SD!! Hopefully this is a sign that the sun is here to stay! 🙂 wahoooo
I have uploaded our new podcast of q&a. Today Trainer Jess and I had an awesome Circuit workout that will be posted tomorrow. You wont want to miss this one! A creative Card Deck Circuit. Let’s just say Jess was pooped and a few hours later already could feel it in her glutes!!! Oh yes, you must check this out and give it a try! 🙂
This morning Bruno was taken in to get neutered so we have one dead beat dog! My day was packed with an awesome HIT cardio workout this a.m. followed by 10 sets of incline push-ups and a nightly walk with Jess. After our killer card deck circuit, we took a walk to get a bit at PF Changs. Yes, PF Changs is the new Cheesecake Factory. Gotta love those wraps! 🙂
Great day and great start of the week!
Nightly thoughts…
There are times in our lives when you know just what to do and there is no question about it. Then there are times when things seem a little murky and you may feel like you don’t know what road to turn down or which way to turn. This is when it is time to tap into that inner connection with ourselves and remember who we really are, what we are all about, and what is most important. Nothing could be better.
When you bring this PRESENT awareness into your daily life, in any situation, you’ll experience the kind of presence that will make you stop in your tracks, engage your senses, and find joy in daily life, for what it is NOW. But for most of us, accomplishing that is easier said than done. We all have learned that so much of this is so much easier said than done but it is important to tap into ourselves and be aware. Awareness is the first step to digging deeper into our true selves! Often it requires a conscious effort to examine the status quo, push in new directions, and find fresh approaches to discovering that grounded, connection and happiness we have within us but the awareness is KEY.
Here is a list of ideas I have come up with to help you be more aware and to feeling more present and more aware of what makes you happy.
-Get Energized About Your Future
Live in the present, but life in the world demands a certain amount of decision making and planning. What’s your vision of where you want to go and how you’ll get there? When you take a proactive approach, your dreams are more likely to become reality. Knowing what you want is, of course, the first step.
You can develop a goal list and create affirmations, she says. You can draw a picture of your future, ask for guidance. There are so many ways to energize the new vision you want for your life. The more you energize it, the more you draw that energy to that vision.
-Dig into Your Spiritual Self
Reconnecting with your innermost self and know who you are and what you are all about. Try meditating or practicing yoga.
-Let Go of the Old
Try something new and discover a new you… Try something you fear, do something that takes you out of your box and out of your element! Be daring!! Go for it!! 🙂
-Serve Others
Turn your attention to the needs of others, you often feel a huge sense of satisfaction. Focusing on other people enables you to be engaged without having to figure out what’s in it for you.
-Honor Your TRUE Self!
Become much more attuned to your TRUE self and where you are in the world. Do you even know?
Do you know who you really are and what you are all about?
Until tomorrow
have a great night!

Wow! I am beat in emotions right now and reading your post made my night better thanks G!!!!
Have to say that all aspects of my life are GREAT!!!! Love life right now not so good. Met a guy thought it was great… so many qualities yet so many issues. Was I excited with the idea of being with someone that shared the same passion for the sport, family, etc yes!!!!! But so many unsolved issues and many walls both ways …. Many on and offs and we were not even in a relationship … So I only imagine what could that be if we were!!! It helped me big time after my separation did not give myself time to open my heart and now after almost THREE years I did. So I have to thank him for that. I stopped this before getting really hurt. Now, it is sad and yes it does hurt but not to the same extent it would if I would have continued this path. We both asked for another chance … I guess I finally realize today that it was too much to deal with and the things that matter to him and not as important for me and VS. Talk about awareness in a situation uh?Things were off and just did not feel right for a situation that I did not even thought as ìmportant` but it was for him. Back to be with myself and baby and focusing at all in all the GREAT things in life. He is doing the same show I am in NOV so, hope things go natural when we get there. I am thankful that I have this lifestyle and that nothings affects my time on my Zen ZOne. I am energized about my future, time to put that visual board in gear, and make my dreams come true being true to myself of that sometimes it is better to be by yourself with your true self to get where you want to be and maybe along the way that person will come and will fit perfectly as I think it is supposed to be. Nuff said 🙂
Karina– What a great post from you and so glad your evening had some thoughts to ponder! I am so happy everything in your world is going so well! When you are in “the zone” and doing things for you, things just blossom and go well. I am so proud of you for listening to your heart and making decisions based on how you feel! You have really taken time to analyze situations and discover what works for you, what is best for you, what you want (for you and your daughter) and are going for it! I am so happy for you!!! Keep that energy and your dreams are coming true! Never be untrue to yourself. Stay true to yourself and you WILL get to where you want to go and beyond! Focusing on you allows doors to open without even trying! Keep up the positive outlook! xo
Hey ladies…..
Karina! Wow….girl we are going through the same thing. Thanks for sharing that with us. I have been going through a LOOOOONG drawn out saga with someone (who is a fellow competitor) for 2 years that finally needed to end. Its really hard because sometimes in my lonliness I can make some pretty stupid decisions. Its weird how even a bad situation turns into what feels like a comfort zone……until you end up heartbroken all over again and everything feels all too familiar. Its that whole definition of insanity you know? “…Doing the same thing over and over and over……expecting a different result.” But I found that once I tuned in to the Eryn channel….once I started listening to that voice inside me…..the answers were there all along. I don’t need ANYONE to fill that space but me right now. I need to love myself FIRST. I’ve only recently been able to say that I honestly LOVE ME! Its a great feeling. We are such amazing women with so much potential! NO ONE DESERVES TO STEAL OUR JOY!!! NO ONE. I certainly don’t want to have any shoulda, coulda, woulda’s….especially over some guy! lol Hang in there…..seems like you are on the right track! You aren’t alone. we are all in this together. STay strong!
xoxox eryn
Eryn, funny how everyone always seems to be on the same page! Eryn, glad you are doing something different, to get a new result… That quote is so true. We often tend to get in these ruts and expect change but if we aren’t doing anything to promote change, how and why do we expect it? If you aren’t liking what channel you are watching, pick up the remote and change the channel! Glad you tuned in heard that voice~! YOU DON’T NEED ANYONE BUT YOU!! “I HONESTLY LOVE ME”, print that out and save it!!! That is powerful!
We are in this together. No more shoulda woulda coulda only gonna, gotta getta!! 🙂
Stay strong, as you already are ladies!
xo
Ahhhhhh. That’s a sigh of contentedness in not being alone in these kinds of painful struggles. Letting go is no picnic. But the possibilities of the future are so open, authentic and bright!
You have opportunities of a lifetime just waiting at your door! Possibilities are there, everything you have ever wanted and brighter than you can imagine! Have on your sun glasses because your future is bright! xo
Thanks G and Eryn for the power go go girl words!
Sometime you wonder why these situations come into your life and slightly disconnect you from your true dreams. Not a bad things cause you always learn from them and I always do get the best of each situation. Yes not easy but proud of just letting go. It is still hard, especially when there are soooo many good qualities and also he was not trying to change me … so imagine! It was me, trying to accepting him the way he is. Unfortunately at the end is more the stress than happiness. So better this way and just moving forward. Got my office set up, nicely painted, in process of decorating it, looks FAB already, many many goals, getting the kick of more cardio … tks my super trainer! Ha ha ha ha …. Gotta say that I love it. Am I weird? Ha ha ha ha … Just kidding. So, I am a believer and I trust that things happen for a reason and there is always a good reason why we go trough these situations even sometimes we do not understand them. Perhaps, this is not our time for him and I. Maybe the future who knows. But, for now, I do not worry, what is to happen, will happen. Focusing on the really important things in life ..Thanks for the support Gina, Eryn and Drena and lets keep movin’ 😀
Karina, you are in such a great place, looking at situations glass half full! not easy but you should be proud of yourself for letting go! Glad you were not the one trying to be changed… but you see that you can’t change anyone unless they want to change themselves!
So happy for you that you have a fresh new look to your office. I just finished the first coat of Faux and now onto faux paint the yellow and then walaaa a new freshly painted room full of happy and positive energy! Things do happen for a reason and if you don’t quite understand why now you will, at some point, promise! 🙂 If it is meant to be, it WILL happen!! So glad you are putting energy into YOU! hugs
