during these cold months, i have let my resolve to get out there and exercise wane. last week, i decided to make it my goal to walk a shorter distance than usual for seven days in a row. since my main goal is to get out the door consistently, i chose to focus on the shorter distance. i hope to override my laziness with the notion that it is no big deal to meet this simple challenge.
on the second day of walking, my very goal oriented daughter asked me what my goal would be after the seven days. i said that i hadn't thought that far ahead yet and was simply trying to focus on this goal first. ...but that i hoped that after seven days i would appreciate walking so much that i would want to keep doing it every day. hopefully my homebound muscles will have remembered what it feels like to move and will be ready to take on more distance and intensity. my mind and spirit will have benefitted from experiencing these little God-gifts each day (because there really is beauty in every season). and yes, i will set a new goal with the confidence that i can meet my goals...having done so once already.
i'm working on a habit boost...slow and steady...body, mind, and soul.
love,
jane
