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.

ReplyDeleteShortcuts never work out in the long run, Regine. Stay the course!
ReplyDeleteWe have to be sure to run our OWN race, not what others have told us too, whether that be spiritual or physical.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

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.
ReplyDeleteMovement is indeed key and as long as you're moving. That's the secret.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Regine. ♥
Take care. We all must move, it's good for us!
ReplyDeleteMoving forward and all the way, even if slowly, is better than taking shortcuts.

Movement is key for me also, but too often I way overdo. I feel your pain my friend.
ReplyDeleteMovement is a must
ReplyDeleteI can no longer race - and particularly in the race which someone else has designed (and set the rules for).
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
Yes, whatever we do, we have to be precise in our actions and reactions.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, too, physical exercise always brings mental energy.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and a good start into September ,

It's good to exercise as long as you don't over do it.
ReplyDeleteGood point. And so true. Congrats on making it through the workout! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteTaking a short cut is not always a good idea.
ReplyDeleteKeep going ...
My good wishes.
All the best Jan
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.
ReplyDeleteBeijos.

So much truth for us all!
ReplyDeleteI agree--the mental focus has to be so intense, no wonder tiredness gets intense!
ReplyDeleteGreat messages!
ReplyDeleteLa fin de l'été ou un changement de lune fatigue aussi ! Gros bisous
ReplyDeleteIt 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...
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

Love this! Being present and continuing to move gets you through!

It always feels better after the work out!
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me. I really need to start doing this more regularly!
ReplyDelete"Be here now" is a great help for me. Doing some kind of exercise leaves me mentally energized, too :)
ReplyDeleteWe always have to run our own race. You are an encourager. Such an inspriation. Take care.
