Feeling fortunate

If you have little money but a wealth of loving friends and family around you are rich!

If you can find something positive in every situation you can always find joy!

If you can keep calm when chaos surrounds you, you can survive anything!

If you can remember that there is always someone more attractive, fitter, stronger, wealthier, younger, more successful than you then you can always feel fortunate and love yourself and find happiness within!


Count blessings and find gratitude

Today I sat by the river at Currumbin and I thought about and counted everything I am grateful for.

I felt so grateful for the simple fact that I had several things to count.

It can be so easy to focus on everything that is wrong in our lives, rather than spending time thinking about all the things that are right.

So today that is what I did, I thought about all the many wonderful, beautiful things, people and moments in my life.

I counted my blessings and felt a rush of gratitude.

The positive flow on effects of this type of thinking are huge.

Try it, I dare you!

As I type it’s 5:34 (precise much ??hehe) on a Monday morning.

The alarm went off at 5 and I wanted to punch it’s shrieking little reminder in the face.

I want to do this every Monday morning, until the grogginess subsides and I remember why I am waking up.

It’s now 5:36 and I am on the bus heading into the city to teach a class.

I often wonder if I wasn’t teaching, would I in fact have the motivation to get up at this time.

As a fitness instructor, I would love to answer yes without hesitation, but you see I am also human.

We get tired, we make excuses, we procrastinate.

We make choices.

We make choices, consciously or not, our choices form our habits, and if you don’t like the habits you have, you simply need to make different choices and form new habits.

Easy right?

Of course not, but possible yes- definitely!

What positive choice will you make today that can positively change your life.

It doesn’t need to be in a big momentous way, but it’s needs to set a new positive movement in your life.
