People are cynical and honestly: Why wouldn’t they be? All of us are overworked, trampled on, paying more for yoga class and coconut water. Our dreams are slowly fading away and struggling to find meaning.
Dark clouds seemingly consume the conversations we have with friends and family. Is talking about Doom and Gloom useful? It some instances it can be, just not today.
Today we challenge you to find the courage to be optimistic!

Happy Hips, a little Balance Beam work and Skipping Rope (if you “jump rope”? Try again). Followed By:

There is a very little word that we often use. It has only two letters, but it is full of power for good or evil. It is the word ‘“IF”. Do not be always fancying that IF your circumstances were different you would be different; IF only other people would be agreeable, you would; IF only you were somebody else and had their chances you would do differently; IF this, that and the other might be, all would be well with YOU.

Painful experiences lead to growth-
Being sincere and open with your feelings can make you feel vulnerable in the world we live in. When you finally open your heart? You do so with the uncertainly that other people will not treat your feelings with care and love.
Open up and let down your guard today and Risk being Sincere. Be Honest, Authentic and say what you Feel. Open your mind to creating loving interactions with those whose company you enjoy …

All of us struggle daily to make life meaningful by grasping and holding onto the “things” in our life. This is a wasted effort on our part. The meaning to life is everywhere, just take a moment to look around. We force ourselves to find Meaning and burden ourselves trying to Create relationships.
Not too sure where we are going with this topic, maybe?!?

The Gift of Freedom
Posted: December 7, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: 5k, blogging, courage, crossfit, exercise, fitness, free range, Freedom, Freshly Pressed is Overrated, happiness, health, hipster, kettlebell, life, love, lululemon, marathon, motivation, natural, paleo, passion, pearl harbor, pilates, Positivity, pride, recovery, running, strength, subway death, trail running, walking, whole foods, Will Power, WOD, yoga 8 Comments… The yoga of life needs a certain grasp of intricacies. It needs carefulness; needs levelheadedness. The yogi does not connect with anything, nor reject it. He lives essentially alone. –Mankuthimma
Today’s sign of the Apocalypse: Subway Death Photos
** Read the story closely enough and you will find out that ALL OF US … Are part of the problem. It’s a sad world we live in … **
Our lives are Precious, our lives are Short. When you set forth on your journey today, don’t do “things” simply for the sake of doing them. Be present and take a keen look around at what you are doing in the moment. Only then move forward if you feel there is something meaningful to your action(s). If you fail to find any usefulness in what you are currently doing? Drop it and move onto the next “thing”. If you do so early enough in the day (shower or coffee in the AM)? You have the potential to avoid an enormous amount of unnecessary pain and suffering. Dwell in Positivity by thoroughly enjoying the “things” you love! Life is too short to spend it doing anything else.
If you don’t enjoy what you are doing, then don’t do it. It’s as simple as developing the Courage, the Will Power to stop.
Why is so hard for us to spend our time and energy on the very “things” that bring fulfillment and happiness in our lives?
The Plan-
The Workout:
Work yourself into a thick broozle followed by:
10 Heavy Single Arm KB Swings (snappy)
10 KB Halo’s (each direction)
10 KB Hang Clean + Press (single arm)
10 Goblet Squat Bob + Weave (5 each side – eyes forward)
Form, Flow and Grace … 20-40 minutes.
Notes-
Have we reached a stage in our society where running a 5k is easier than resisting the urge to Update your Facebook status? Sadly, we think it is. We could even make the argument that running a marathon is easier than sitting down to write an actual letter, you know … Pen and Paper!?!
We never like to start off the weekend on a somber note, today is different. Pearl harbor remembrance day is today … A time to reflect. Be well this weekend and ENJOY!!!
