Put the Fun Back in Functional

By

Enjoyment, amusement or lighthearted pleasure, that’s the formal definition of fun. Without a little fun, I can’t be truly functional. So, I say it’s time to put the fun back in functional.
Fun inspires, it elevates your spirit and makes you feel good. Fun is necessary! It delivers oxygen to the soul.

If you’ve lost that fun feeling it’s time to get it back. Take a minute and think of something you truly enjoy. Allow yourself to visualize that activity. Did this make you feel happy?

I think fun is about living in the moment and a willingness to be open to it. For me it’s about being spontaneous. Fun, joy and excitement should be part of your healthy lifestyle!
Sometimes, you just have to let down your guard and give in to pleasure. Whether you enjoy an outing with friends or an intimate gathering with family, take some time to really enjoy yourself and have some fun.

Life is not all about responsibilities and doing what others expect of us. We all must take a break now and then and have some down time. Laugh, cry, sing or shout, whatever makes you happy, just do it.

I love it when a friend calls and we go out for a spontaneous bike ride or long walk on the beach. We get that rare opportunity to stretch our legs and our minds. It’s fun to catch up on the latest news and get in a little cardio at the same time.

One of my favorite fun activities is to go out on the boat with my boys. Now that they have all moved out of the house, it’s a real treat to have them come home for a weekend. Anytime I can get them all together, I put everything aside just to enjoy their company.

Be an inspiration to others by showing the fun and loving side of yourself. Yes, you know what I am talking about. When you present a lighthearted attitude, you easily lift the spirits of those around you.

Function at your very best by giving into fun. Be spontaneous and be ready to grab the chance to have fun as it comes. Sometimes, fun happens when you least expect it. Not everything can be planned. Open your heart and your mind and let love guide your actions.

Confidence Comes From Doing Something Amazing

By

Change is not easy. Change can be difficult, but it can also be liberating. You know when you need to make changes—the hard part is beginning the process.

A new day, maybe a new chapter in your life can be exactly what you need. Why not take a chance? Don’t allow procrastination to become your habit. There is no better time than now. Allow your spirit to shine as bright as possible every single day.

Confidence comes from doing something amazing. To make great gains be vulnerable and take a leap of faith. Be open to learning and experiencing something out of your comfort zone. Don’t let fear hold you back from enjoying life.

Change is good on so many levels. The more you let go of things that don’t treat you lovingly the more you will attract and experience what you really want. Often out of habit we hold onto exactly what holds us back. Stop doing more of what you really don’t need or want in your life.

You may have forgotten that you could do anything you choose to do. You can have the kind of life you desire. Take a look at yourself; analyze your life and your daily habits. Tell the truth about what you see. Are you willing to take a step forward and move closer to where you want to be?

Never mistake a good thing for an easy thing. If you are persistent you will get what you want. If you are consistent you will keep it forever. What we nurture grows. Being fit and healthy is a discipline that requires a lot of effort.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you. Stop living your life wishing for the perfect weight, mate, family or career. You have all the power to take the necessary steps for change. Change is needed to better yourself, love yourself and find your truth.
about yesterday won’t make tomorrow any brighter. Take action and let what you’ve learned improve how you live today. Make that change today, and never look back. Be healthy body, mind and soul.

Inspiring Words Motivate My Workout

By

From a very early age, there have been many people who have inspired me. Parents, family, friends and associates have provided words of inspiration that have lifted me up and empowered me to be the best that I can. I strive each day to be a better person than I was the day before.

I have dreams, and those dreams inspire me and motivate my life. Motivation is when you grab hold of an idea and don’t let go of it until you make it a reality. Inspiration is the reverse when an idea grabs hold of you and you feel compelled to let that impulse or energy carry you along. You get to a point where you realize that you’re no longer in charge, that there is a driving force inside you that can’t be stopped.

Listen to your intuitive inner voice and find the passion that stirs your soul. Inspiring words help me focus on my purpose. Each of us has a purpose in this life and a responsibility to fulfill that purpose. I draw upon words of inspiration to motivate me and keep me strong. When I am feeling tired, weak or discouraged, I reflect on inspirational passages to build me up again.

Fitness is about making a decision for a healthy and happy lifestyle. This includes exercising and eating healthy and sometimes that requires a bit of motivation, especially, if you are just starting an exercise program. Change is difficult and it requires a lot of inspiration, motivation, perspiration and persistence.

Each day that you stay motivated and inspired to make positive changes puts you one day closer to your goal. Some days you may be strong; some days you may be weak, don’t give up; keep moving forward. Your strength and resolve will provide the inspiration you need to keep going. It’s contagious, too. As you embrace these positive changes you will begin to inspire others to make the changes that they have been longing to make.

Close your mind to negativity. It can suck the wind out from your wings. You were born to be an inspiration to others. Stay strong in the face of adversity and know that you are beautiful just the way you are. You have the power to fulfill your destiny, but you are not alone.

Draw from the inspiration of others and be a guiding light for all who follow you. Stay motivated and be healthy body, mind and soul.

It is an all-important responsibility that will ensure a healthier and happier existence for you and those who love you. One of the best things about taking care of yourself is that you have the energy and peace of mind to help others.

A healthy and active lifestyle will bring you joy beyond belief. Be good to yourself body, mind and soul.

Repeat your daily affirmations, providing the positive reinforcement that will help you meet the challenges of the day. Allow time for prayer or meditation.

From the way you look to the way you think, a healthier, more active lifestyle brings positive transformation.

Show Up to Get Results

By

You may have heard that it is okay to skip the gym or workout on occasion. Sometimes your body needs a break. Maybe you are starting to get bored with your workout routine. Whatever the reason you might be feeling reluctant about exercising, it is important to remember that you must show up to get results.

While taking the occasional break is fine and sometimes even necessary, too many missed workouts can hinder the results you are seeking to achieve. Worse still, breaking the habit of exercising one day can lead to more apprehension about exercising the following day. It is a habit that you do not want to break.

Exercising and working out are not always easy. Many times life issues stand in the way. However, if you are looking to get results, you must show up to work out. Most times you will be glad you did.

Even while on vacation or holiday, it is good practice to stay active as much as possible. Plan activities, find jogging paths, locate the hotel gym or a local one nearby to get in some needed exercise. This will enable you to pick up right where you left off when you get back into your workout routine.

If you are beginning to get bored with your workout, maybe it is time to join a fitness group or hire a personal trainer. There are many workout routines online that you can check out and implement into your own routine. If you do not have a fitness partner, maybe you can start working out with someone at the gym.

When you are working towards a goal, like losing weight, lifting weights or body building, you know how important every workout is to help you progress. Each day brings you closer to your goal. But you must show up to get results.
