What up, world! Welcome back to another Saturday Seeds episode (two weeks in a row - letโs get it ๐ฑ)
Todayโs piece features a special edition:
โ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌโ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ
Where my thoughts typically run wild, drenched in sweat, racing 100 mph, and this was the latest version โฌ๏ธ
Little sweat inspo to kick things off ๐ฆ
Have you ever regretted a workout?
Me neither.
After ~9 years of training, an average 6 days/wk, and roughly 2,800+ workouts, still to this day Iโve never once finished a workout and thought, โMan, I totally regret that.โ
Thereโs something powerful about moving, sweating, pushing yourself, and creating your ๐๐๐ energy.
Itโs therapeutic.
Reinvigorating.
Soul-replenishing.
Confidence-building.
Necessary.
My point is - working out, exercising, training, however you want to call it, significantly impacts your life in the best ways possible.
What author, Charles Duhigg, calls a โkeystone habit.โ
That one habit that positively impacts all other areas of your life (health, wealth, love, happiness, relationships, mood, energy, work - the list is endless)
So I encourage you to keep moving, keep sweating, keep training - and do it daily. Whatever that means for you.
Of course, be smart. Know your body. Listen to your body.
But keep moving ๐ฆ
Your 85-year old self will undoubtedly be glad you did, and will probably give anything to have just a couple more days in the bodies we have right now.
P.S. - yes, I use the word โtrainingโ very intentionally, because my mindset and weekly activities always revolve around staying โgame ready.โ
We're always training for something... even if we don't know quite what it is.
โGame readyโ to say โyesโ to whatever life throws your way.
Like when you get the call to Climb Mount Rainier in one week because the conditions are perfect now.
Not next year or next month, but right now.
Game ready to seize the moment. Seize the opportunity.
The ability to confidently say โYes,โ without hesitation, because weโve been training the mind, body, and spirit, day in and day out, for years.
And it all starts with the actions you take today, right now.
Happy Saturday Yoga ๐
