One of my life’s missions is to encourage as many people as I can to get inspired and show up for life. Showing up for life means eating well, moving your body with enthusiasm, expressing your magnificence, giving your time and talent to worthy causes, and seeing life’s inevitable challenges as opportunities to grow and expand.
Showing up with enthusiasm isn’t always easy. Waking up early to get in a morning workout doesn’t come without effort; so start slowly. Begin by waking up 15 minutes earlier to make time for a 10-minute movement session. Alternate cardiovascular activity with resistance or weight training. When you’re ready, ramp it up to 30 minutes of morning exercise, then eventually, a full hour. Believe me, you’ll never regret doing this for yourself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking you to cut down on your sleep. A good night’s rest is essential to your overall wellness. So in order to make more time in the morning, you’ll need to—you guessed it—detach from evening television and go to bed earlier.
Live each day knowing that you can choose to do everything that makes you feel good, whole, healthy, and alive right here and now. Wishing you a healthful and glorious springtime. Live like you mean it!
