Body, Mind, and Everything Else...

I had posted a kind note on our Facebook page a week ago encouraging people to smile and laugh more often.  Many people responded kindly, and understood the message.  Some, however, missed the point all together.  While we are working out, lifting weights, watching what we eat, weighing ourselves, and sizing up...well...our size, we sometimes miss a piece of the puzzle.  The point being made was to remember to feel good.  Feel good on the inside.  When we smile even at ourselves in the mirror, something inside of us shifts.  When we smile at the people around us, something inside them shifts.  When we begin to feel the slightest change in our emotions and push them towards a happier place, the physical-you WILL follow.  No matter what could be going on around us, if we can find that little window and allow a little sunshine in, get ready to put on some sunglasses.  Then, get ready to put on the swim suit you are so excited to wear this Summer.  And remember...when you see improvement in the goals you're trying to reach, give yourself a hearty pat on the back.  One pound or one inch...you are making changes for yourself.  YOU are.  Be proud of yourself and smile at yourself! ; )
