Choose to be optimistic.
- The Dali Lama
I am choosing bliss in my life on a more consistent basis by maintaining my consciousness. This means paying attention to my emotions/feelings in the moment and choosing better feeling thoughts and activities.
This morning I got back to the gym after spending most of the summer away from it. Sometimes it can be a struggle to get back into the swing of things, but this morning I meditated with a guided visualization while I was on my eliptical. It was truly amazing! My body was just flowing in the rythm of the movement as I meditated.
There were no aching muscles, or concerns about “how long have I been doing this?” “can I stop now?” I was blissed out and loving it! It is a great way to combine two activities that I like to fit into each day.
I have also begun to run. (It’s ok to laugh!) I have never been a runner before, but I have begun thinking that maybe… maybe I could try it… Luckily, Leslie told me about ChiRunning and WOW! They have a video and book explaining how to do this running where you are pulled along by gravity. If you have ever had any interest in running, or are currently a runner, and you would like to run safely and more easily check out: http://chirunning.com
