Joyous Exercise

by | Women's Health

I am joining these two words together, because I value things that bring JOY.

I have many friends that just love and I mean the capital L type of love, EXERCISE. It releases a joy response within them.

Normally I would not put exercise in a category that lights me up. And that is probably where the problem lies. I have always been healthy, active and had a body that I was comfortable in. After my last child 11 years ago and me being 41 years of age at the time of her birth, I gained weight that has not moved since, if anything it has bunkered down for the long haul.

Now at age 52 I feel enlivened from a place of self acceptance. I have taught Yoga for over 2 decades, so I am well grounded in bringing peace, attention and acceptance to most areas of my life. And up until now I have not bought that to exercise.

At my age, I honor the knowledge that I have gifts to share with the world that only I am able to do so, from my unique perspective, I feel as if I have LIGHTEN UP.  I am connected to my joy response, so I can now bring this to my exercise practise.

I now desire my outer appearence to be in harmony with this inner awareness.

I am Lightening Up, and I commit to doing that through Joyous Exercise.

It is the way forward.

Celebrating myself in numerous ways

Just 9 days ago I did not even have a blog,now I do. (patting myself on the back) I did however have a website with information that had not been updated for a while and was not shining bright or creating anything at all. So I have created a blog, using WordPress, it is basic and has no pictures on it. (how the hell do I add them?) In the process of doing this I changed my host company. I also live in a different company from where I lived when I set up my website many years ago. And well, I lost all my information. Challenge One. I lack technological now-how that’s for sure. I bumble my way along, but celebrate myself that I have kept up with the writing side. And my personal writing also. I have briefly looked at a few other participant posts, but would love to read many more. In todays session, I plan to create a list of all things to check out, both from Natalie and others. This is a fabulous resource, of those that have gone before me, and paved the way. I salute ye all, and humbly thank you. I will implement lastpass. I recently signed up with Square a payment/credit card system which I used for markets with the  creative goods I make, I assume I can link to my website somehow, when I get it back up and running. So I will look in to that also. Then Google Drive and Google Calendar, will be  possibilities. But more so, a team, to do those things I would rather not spend my time on. Bring on Day 10, because Natalie said that’s whats coming next.
