Sense

 I’ve lost track of days, but you get the gist. Tired from a good workout yet mentally energized. Something about moving the body. It’s so true. I made it through the entire workout without stopping. How many times have I quit before the finish line. I’m in the valleys, and it’s not where I desire to be.  I’m accepting that daily. I don’t multitask at all. Certain tasks if not all take my undivided attention. I must be fully present walking, talking or doing anything.  If I don’t there are consequences. I have taken spills because I wasn’t watching where I was going. Every action requires a precise reaction. I think I programmed myself to always be on the move, without regard to what was best for me. I took societal cues, ran a race not designed for a me, and played a game where the odds weren’t in my favor. I took gambles’ I shouldn’t have.  Run my race, not the one I wish I had. Success will come when it wants. The path is long, but taking the shortcut is rougher in the end.

  3. We have to be sure to run our OWN race, not what others have told us too, whether that be spiritual or physical.

  6. i agree with all who say movement is the key.. Strange i just realized the other day when it is humid my body feels about 20 pounds heavier. When the air clears I'm like a ...40 year old again which is young to me.

  7. Movement is indeed key and as long as you're moving. That's the secret.

    Have a fabulous day, Regine. ♥

  9. Moving forward and all the way, even if slowly, is better than taking shortcuts.

  11. I can no longer race - and particularly in the race which someone else has designed (and set the rules for).
    Good luck.

  12. Yes, whatever we do, we have to be precise in our actions and reactions.

  20. Sua reflexão é inspiradora e concordo. Devemos encarar nosso caminho, por mais que seja longo, valerá a pena no final. Pegar os atalhos da vida é só cilada.
    Beijos.

  21. I agree--the mental focus has to be so intense, no wonder tiredness gets intense!

  23. It seems to take us a fair while to work out that we should 'run our own race' and not try to keep up with what we think we should/could do, or what others may think we need or ought to do...
    Stay safe

  26. "Be here now" is a great help for me. Doing some kind of exercise leaves me mentally energized, too :)
