Overcome
Posted: December 17, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: blogging, fitness, health, hope, life, Personal, Tragedy 9 CommentsEvery day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace-
I read lots of blog posts, talk daily with all sorts of inspired people from whom I learn so many thought-provoking things. Everything from how people ask for the time on the bus to how mediation is a remarkable tool in our daily lives—whether they are winning races or losing narrowly in a local 5k … This is just a part of what I do all week behind the scenes here at CultFit.
As I was wrapping up the post on Friday, I was suddenly galvanized by the reporting on one of most horrific stories any of us have ever encountered in our fleeting lives. The tiny, innocent school in Connecticut, where those elementary school children and several adults were shot to death this past Friday.
CultFit is normally meant to inform and entertain you about the world around us. On any given day here, CultFit is more about entertaining you and providing a glimpse behind the curtain. Although there are days, and this past Friday was one of them. When fulfilling this responsibility … Feels especially frivolous.
Today, I can’t bring myself to write a witty, meaningless post.
May this humble post serve as an expression of my sympathy for all of families involved in Connecticut who lost children and loved ones this past Friday. May you somehow find, in time: Strength, Peace and Serenity.

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?!?
