Mindfulness and putting your own oxygen mask on first mean different things to different people.
For some people it’s meditation; for others it’s binge watching Suits on Netflix or having a long hot bath.
For me, it’s exercise.
Exercise is my time out to recharge. It gives me the energy, stress relief, mood boost, clear head and focus I need to perform at my best.
It keeps me mentally strong as well as physically and I’m a better mother, wife, business woman, volunteer and friend when I’m exercising regularly.
To my detriment, I haven’t been prioritising exercise as much as I should be this year.
Tonight I took two of my sons to a new family training session at Complete Health Personal Training By Bon & Josh. It reminded me why I need to make the time.
I could beat myself up and give you a million excuses about how I’ve been too busy with work and how my knees now restrict some of what I do, but all that does is self-sabotage.
Instead, I focus on how awesome I feel after tonight’s session, how wonderful it was to train with my boys, and how I feel the calmest I have in weeks.
Self love, not loathing is where the magic happens and always remember, motivation follows action, not the other way around.
