Have you ever felt so caught up in everyday, mundane problems, challenges or just a hectic schedule that you've found you haven't been fully present?
I know I have... but lately I have realised that it only seems to happen on certain days. Just recently I have noticed my favourite day of the week is on a Friday; when I feel energised, calm, refreshed and to be honest really great!
I started questionning why this was and why I favoured Fridays more than any other day and the answer was simple...
I do the things I enjoy the most.
On a Friday, I attend two fitness classes at my local gym. I start the day with a 45 minute Spinning session and then straight afterwards participate in an hour long Body Balance class. I have found this really helps me unwind and reset after a long week and gives me a chance to stretch properly after working hard. I finish with a short meditation where it allows me to put any problems, negativity or things on my to-do list to one side, just for a moment or two and fully be in the present moment to just be.
This really helps to set me up for the day and week ahead.
I think it is very important to try and stay present and welcome everything that happens in our every day lives. To do this, I like to note everything I am grateful for on a daily basis, whether I'm sitting somewhere quiet or walking outside. I particularly like to give thanks for everything that has happened and for all that I have and for the people I know. It really helps to relax and centre me.
What is your favourite day of the week? Can you list three things you are grateful for today?
Live, Laugh, Love,
