Birthday Weekend!
Friday, February 22nd
During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today. I then heard an internal voice say, "Birthday weekend!"
My birthday is this coming Sunday. I am going to be turning 47. I noticed this year I been focused on improving my health and wellness, pursuing professional goals, and improving family relationships, rather than looking forward to my birthday.
It is also a bit daunting that I am creeping up on 50! My adult years seem like a blur. I am overall happy with my life accomplishments, but want the opportunity to do much more. I spent the first 17 years of my life getting my body fit, and that felt amazing! Then when I had my mental break in college, thus far, I spent my adult life getting my mind healthy again. I feel solid around my mental health, but my physical health (being toned and having a strong core) has fallen to the wayside.
I feel ready to address my physical health on a more consistent basis. It deserves the same daily attention as my mental health. It is essential in supporting my overall well-being. I have proven that I can do the daily hard work of maintaining my mental health, therefore I can definitely bring back my physical health.
I do best with all or nothing. I have always been this way. I'm giving myself permission to find different ways to remain fit on a daily basis. I don't just need to be doing one type of physical activity to be successful. I need to treat physical health like I do mental health: use as many "tools in my toolbox", but in this case, to stay fit on a daily basis. Some days I can go to 24 Hour Fitness. Weather permitting, I can ride outdoors alone or with our son. Weeks with Mason, I need to be more creative. There are more family responsibilities when he is with us. I can do my wife's Beach Body 10 minute video to do crunches. I can climb stairs at work during lunch or go for longer walks before or after work.
I have decided to use the cognitive behavioral method that I developed for achieving a goal to assist me with getting my physical health back on track. I am confident and excited to get results soon! I need my mental health and physical health to support me well into the coming years. This is a great birthday present to be giving myself: maintaining physical strength on a consistent basis! Thank you Somoya for getting me excited about growing older and looking forward to the years to come.
