day 2 of the 30 day challenge
Day 2 of the 30 day Mind Body Spirit challenge.
I achieved my goals on day 1, 10 minutes extra heart racing exercise, (I broke it down into 5 two minute bursts in the end as stair stepping was more strenuous that I was prepared for!) I made time for Meditation too in between a busy day of clients. Spiritually I listened to an inspiring you-tube post by Alicia Power. (I am inspired by all her videos I’ve watched so far)
Day 2 and the goals today are 10 mins extra heart racing exercise, ( more steps) Drinking more water, and also I aim to read a chapter of a self help book too.
Yesterday I was inspired by some else’s post, and I ‘saw’ life as a game of snakes and ladders.
We throw the dice and move happily along the board, when we are moving and in a good place we get help, a hand up, we climb the ladder, but then when we see someone moving ahead of us, that child within us inside us goes, ‘life’s not fair,’ we start to feel a little upset or down and down the snake we go, as we believe life isn’t working well for us..
What if though, those times, when we slide down the snake we are being taken back to ‘base camp’ to rethink our own dreams and desires?
We are all human, all with different dreams and desires, we don’t all want the same goal, maybe it’s similar but it isn’t the same. So then sliding down to start again is just telling us that we need to do things our own way. Listen to our own ideas on how to achieve our dream. If we follow someone else’s rules we will struggle. Use the down time to create a way for you, make up your own rules for your success. Then celebrate everyone’s wins, as when you win your challenge, everyone will help celebrate with you too.
Today’s card, (This is so uncanny….) Play time! (Honest I didn’t pick the card it chose me) So the magical mermaids and dolphins oracle cards by Doreen Virtue is saying… “The dolphins know the importance of playing, as joy creates miracles and manifestation”
Looks like we are being rewarded already with the chance of playtime! Look out though as you could undo all the good work started yesterday. Life is like a game of snakes and ladders. The trick is to stay in that happy place even if we don’t seem to be winning. Because we are still winning but at a different pace.
The universe has a strange sense of humour. Don’t you think?
If we do feel as though life is a challenge, then think of it in a different way. We are wired to look for solutions, to find a way that is more fun. I do like Mary Poppins and her attitude, make life a game and everything becomes easier, it takes less time to do the chores, leaving more time for even more play!
So be like Mary Poppins and make every chore an opportunity to play, this keeps the joy in our souls and helps manifest our dreams and desires ‘Spit spot!’
Have a supercalifragalisticexpaladocious day wonderful people
