No Your Limits!

When I find myself wondering about what the future holds; the mixed emotions certainly surface. There is excitement, fear, uncertainty and hold onto hope. Because all things are possible! Sometimes we have to send ourselves gentle reminders of the possibilities. Listen to the inner voice and do not seperate strength and wisdom, utilize them together.

Our limits change constantly. Coming to realize this with yes, age can change limits. Its not a bad thing. Sometimes with age, wisdom speaks louder and our limits are easier recognized. This does not mean I can not still climb mountains. I have tackled many upward trails of 10-14 miles in nice half a day venture, but they are not as easy as it seemed 10 years ago. I can still do it, if I condition my mind, body and soul. After all I need to nurish all 3.

Prepare. Its a simple word, we take the time to prepare for an interview, a vacation, a meal...so prepare your mind, body and soul before your head up the mountain.

We not only need a adequate pair of hiking boots that do not rub blisters after 2 miles. It is winter so make sure they are water proof with good insulated socks. We prepare with plenty of water, snacks, supplies for weather changes and conditions. What about preparing your body? Would you really head up a 10 mile mountain hike because you saw a beautiful picture that you want to experience if you have not been conditioning your body?

All things are possible:

Believe in who you are

Believe dreams do come true

Believe that all the strength you have lies deep within

Also trust your instinct and no matter what the journey is today, prepare your mind, body and spirit. Then your limits change and expand.

We are well into winter, and it has been mild for the Pacific Northwest. Rainy days are good to build the mind, explore and investigate where you want to take your body. Prepare your body, especially on winter months. When the sunshine is out, your spirit will be ready for the journey. Daily walks with rain gear, exercise classes and condition so you can enjoy where ever the journey leads.

Explore your world. Nature heels the mind and spirit but you need to take care of your body then there is balance in life.
