Inspirational

Most sensational, celebrational...no, I'm not going to blog about the Muppets, I haven't even seen the new movie. But I'd like to. Any takers?

Well anyway, my life took a turn for the better, a week ago, all because someone inspired me. So maybe you need someone to inspire you to become what or who you aspire to be. For now we'll talk about exercise, since that is where my changeyness occurred. (I like made up words!). BUT before I tell you exercise is good for you, I'll just tell you that what I started doing a week ago has given me the strength to take baby steps in changing a few other things in my life that need changing too. I think when you see improvement in one area, it tells you maybe you can do it in other areas, you think: "Maybe I don't always have to fail at improving who I am." It's also given me more energy, I'm less prone to get upset/depressed, and it made my heart (the physical and the metaphorical one) feel better. And that is exactly what my inspirational person told me it would do. (They weren't a shrink by the way, just your average ordinary everyday person like me and you. But probably more like you cause I'm kinda weird.)

In fact, they weren't even trying to inspire me, so I thank God for sending that person along to do what they did when they did. And I continue begging him to help me keep doing this wonder working thing so I can keep going on the upward trend, because I HATE exercise. Did you already forget we were talking about that? Really though, I hate it. If you know me at all, you know I hate it. I would get all gungho for new routines, or trying different types, for varying amounts of time... and it never stuck for more than a couple days. But for some reason, someone who also loves carbs and hates moving just for the sake of moving, was able to wake up at 5am and better herself, which in turn betters those around her. Something about that made me want to try waking up early. Not 5am early, but about 6:30/6:45am early. And I did it, I've been doing it. I'm not saying that waking up before work is your thing, I'm just saying don't give up trying to find your "thing". Shoot, maybe you run 5 miles a day but there is something else in your life that you can't seem to conquer. Don't give up trying, find new ways. It might feel like you're going 2 steps back 1 step forward. But if you give up, you'll fall farther back a whole lot faster. Want another tip? Theres this "being", his name is God. His son's name is Jesus. And they help me out a whole, whole lot in life. Even when I'm not asking them to. So maybe, if you've tried everything else, ask them for help. What have you got to lose?
