Focus

I had a busy productive day, I did my weekly shopping and errands, had coffee with someone that I would like to call a friend and had a fantastic guitar lesson. When I got up today, I began my day with reminding myself that all that I am doing each day is so that I can be a better me.

• I focus on my acts of kindness each day so that I can learn to pay more  attention to the world around me, 

• I do sit ups and kicks each day so that I can learn the benefits of working towards something daily ( I am noticing stronger muscles !!!!), 

• I write about my day so that I can learn and grow from my mistakes, 

• I hang out with my team mates so that I can learn from them (success and struggles), 

• I track my progress so that I can be encouraged by how far I have come and note the down times so that I can learn from them,

• I look after my family the best way that I can when I am at home so when I am working, I don't  feel guilty( not pretty but true),

•  I practice my forms because I like how it feels when I do them with familiarity (rusty is not a good feeling),

• I practice my guitar every chance I get because it stretches my brain in ways that it has never been stretched before (and it is sooooo cool!),

• I practice Tai Chi everyday because it is my reason for being ( and I believe that encouraging my chi to move is helping my shoulders),

I was thinking (and talking) about what works for me today, what works is reminding myself that this is for me, no one else. If I focus on me then the world around me will benefit from the results 'cause I will definitely be a better person/wife/mother/teammate.
