Don’t Give Up!

 

Don’t Give Up!

by Jane Powell
“Results will take as long as they take.”
It is so easy to give up if you don’t see expected results, immediately. This is especially true with exercise. You drag yourself to the gym and you sweat and burn. The pounds you planned to lose in three weeks remain stubbornly in place. Discouragement sets in and you want to give up.
Don’t worry! This is a common experience for everyone. The good news is that you can turn things around. The secret to not giving up is to practice mindful exercise. Instead of counting your chickens before they hatch, enjoy each moment of your workout for its own sake. Experience exercise as an enjoyable healthy escape from the real world.
While exercising, your mind may stray from your movements. But, stay mindful each the movement. Exist in the moment and gently remind yourself to focus. As you stay focused, without demanding rewards, the exercise itself becomes its own reward – and you will see the results you expect.

 
One step
No matter how long you've been walking north, in just
a single step you can be walking south. What does it take to turn your life around? Just one step. You are one step away from eating a healthier diet, one step away from being a better parent, one step away from improving your finances, one step away from becoming more skilled in your work, one step away from a more fulfilling relationship.
 
One minute from now, your worst problems can be behind you, instead of in front of you. In a single
step, your best day can be yet to come, rather than long ago in the past. In an instant, your negative energy can be redirected toward making a positive difference.
 
Just one step can change your momentum, and start you in whatever direction you truly want to go.
 
 
You have the ability to love. And from that ability comes every ability.
Love can transform your most painful burden into your richest blessing. Stop fighting against what is and begin to love what you know you can be.
 
Live in love, and you live with power. Live in love, and enable the best within you to know full expression.
 
Love keeps you focused on what truly matters. Love keeps you going against all odds.
 
Let go of worry, anxiety, anger and frustration, and love is there. It shines more brightly than ever.
 
Live in love. And you live in full.
 
Ralph Marston
