I often get creative ideas when running in particular. Today, there was a theme that had a pressing need to be expressed while I was out on the open trail. The theme today was complete and total self-acceptance. Acceptance of all aspects of myself, my perspective, my life and everything in it -- now as it is. This does not mean I am not working towards goals or modifications but as I see it in this moment, to simply honor myself and the moment now (regardless of what the world, television or outside environment may say to the contrary). Learning how to relax even more and to push forward -- both have helped me to go even deeper into an awareness that becomes increasingly clear and useful over time.
There are so many images I encounter throughout the day -- images which remind, situations that are thought-provoking. Whether running or walking, there are so many opportunities to be reminded of what matters and ways of making a difference and being a contributor in one way or another.
Gratitude. I feel so thankful for the fruit that running provides in my life -- particularly on a creative and mental level. My running time offers a tremendous way of working with myself and, if you choose to share the time with others, it offers a beautiful way of sharing quality time together.
Balance and Stress Management. I have found that energy work (such as Reiki, Yuen Method, acupuncture, and meditation) can be incredibly powerful in support of healing the mind/body and for personal growth, transformation and to manage stress. Check out this online Reiki healing music video. I have used this type instrumental music while I work, to relax and during meditation. You can even play them while you sleep and wake up inspired and feeling like new money!
Take good care of YOU. #RunandFind
