Get Back the “Get Back Up”

I have a friend who recently created daily Facebook events titled "Get Back the Get Back Up". Having just come out of the other side of a major medical event, the personal fitness trainer in her was simply encouraging everyone to take a walk around the block...or two. Whatever. Just get back up. And post …

UNIQUE I have been receiving all of the signs around our individuality and gifts throughout the day. And so I will leave this right here as it’s all that remains to be said. • “As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has—or ever will have—something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.” — Mr. Rogers
Consider if you will that while you may be caught up in trying to find the PERFECT moment in time, it may be simply happening right in front of you. That is all.
COMPASSION Do you think you demonstrate compassion? Does it come easily for you? Even when other people say or do things you don’t agree with? I feel that I do, and that each day I’m getting better at it. But the part where I need to offer it to myself...well, that’s sometimes difficult AF. It requires that I really dig deep. And then...LOVE me?? Yes, that. Exactly that. Life becomes amazing when you acknowledge your self worth. ••• “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” - Jack Kornfield ••• photo credit Darius Bashar
IMPERFECT When is the last time you were unconcerned with what others think? • ...about your looks... • ...the clothes you’re wearing... • ...the actions you take... • Five minutes ago? Yes, I thought so. • We should really talk, because it’s time you start loving yourself! • It’s time to say, “I’m perfect.”
SAD • I am currently winning the battle over Seasonal Affective Disorder! Here’s my strategy: • 🔹No alcohol in January, February. 🔹Daily meditation. 🔹Daily exercise. 🔹Manufactured light on gloomy days. 🔹Long walks outside on sunny days. 🔹Schedule one hour of down time, unplugged per day; practice deep relaxation. 🔹Eating clean. 🔹Avoiding negativity and drama; unfollowing some social media. 🔹Getting coached when I need it (when I can’t get past my own mind drama)! • This is a real thing, people! Every year at this time, I have found myself so low. But this year is different! I feel it. • What are your tips for managing SAD?
AWAKENING Dry January is proving to be even more beneficial than I’d anticipated. I have energy, I’m more alert, and it’s definitely easier to get up and get going. I totally don’t hate early mornings. When those mornings fall on Saturday and Sunday, even better! Instead of walking around in a fog until mid morning, I’m up at 6:00 am. What?! So I’m at hockey practice now, feeling exhilarated by the cold instead of trying to warm up with some vodka. Awakening ALL of the senses. I’m digging it. If you drink, how does it feel for you when you take a break? I’m curious.
