Words can not describe what happened yesterday. Tragic events like this really make me realize how precious life is. I still can’t believe that something like this happened. My prayers and thoughts are with everyone that was affected. After watching the news all day yesterday, I thought about my life and realized that sometimes it is very easy to take basic things for granted. I am grateful that I woke up today and have people in my life that love me and that I love them. One thing that helped me last night, was telling the people that mean the most to me how much I love them and that I am grateful that they are in my life. Try to focus on the important things today that matter. It is very easy to get caught up with things that seem so hard and difficult at the time. I have realized that those things for me, don’t even come close to as important as losing a loved one. Cherish the people around you today. I hope we can grow stronger from this experience and learn just how important life really is. I am heartbroken and incredibly sorry for everyone that is affected by this disgusting, horrendous event. I wish everyone reading this that you have a good day and that you are given the opportunity to be with your loved ones today. Love is the essence of life and don’t take that for granted.

It is very easy to take things for granted. I am Grateful today that I have the ability to Exercise and become a Stronger person for it. When struggling with starting to exercise, try to focus on the fact that we are the lucky ones. We have the Ability to do anything we want. Some people are less fortunate and unable to exercise. Be grateful for this Healthy body you were given and keep improving. This philosophy also applies to life. Try to be grateful for the life you were given. If you are struggling with something, you have the Choice to change things for the better. Some people are not given that same choice. You can be anything you want to be. Instead of beating yourself up about something, be grateful that you realized something needs to change and it is time to take action. I am grateful today that I am given the opportunity to help out others to Exercise and to Live a Happier, Healthier Life. What are you grateful for today?

Similarly to Exercising, pushing yourself through the hard times in life will only make you Stronger. Determination and Perseverance are two essential ingredients to Overcome the difficult times and also grow in an extremely Positive Direction. It is common for some people to struggle with having the Motivation to Exercise. They always say afterwards how glad they are that they pushed through their struggles. They also say they feel much better and relieved afterwards. Tough times are not easy, but each time you battle something hard, you will learn how to approach the situation differently for next time. Also, learning from previous experiences will decrease the duration of difficult times. If you are battling something currently, don’t be afraid to ask family and/or friends for help. It is always helpful to have someone to talk to about what you are going through and to feel their love and support. Don’t quit before the miracle happens. “This too shall past.” I hope you have a great, strong day!

Set time aside for a workout. Even with your very busy schedule, try to get a workout in for a healthier future. This doesn’t mean working out for hours, but there is always time to take care of yourself if you want to live a long healthy, happy life. It is much easier to make excuses, then to actually decide that “I do have time today that I can squeeze in a workout.” A helpful strategy that I use is that I block off time in my calendar each day for a workout. It really helps if you plan ahead. I look at my schedule Sunday night and decide when I have some time to workout. Choose to do something for yourself and you will ultimately feel better. Try this strategy this week, even if it is only for one day. One workout a week to start, is much better than no workout! Have a great rest of the weekend!
