I love being busy.   I really think I’m addicted to the feeling of accomplishment and productivity.    It has been even worse since I had Gracie.    I love maximizing every second of my day.    But sometimes it can get overwhelming for sure.   Tuesday nights are officially family night in this house now.   I have marked off every Tuesday in my calendar.   But even on family night last this week I made time for my yoga class….. and it was an awesome one.

Out of all the things I do it is really hard to put my work outs at the top of the list.   The EASY thing to do would be to drop that every time I got too busy or overwhelmed.    BUT working out is a commitment, being healthy is a commitment.   And I want to take that as seriously as my jobs.    I refuse to use being busy, or being a mom, to be my excuse for being unhealthy.    Hot yoga is my work out of choice…. it is perfect for someone busy like me because it forces me to take that hour to relax and workout at the same time.    I get to slow my mind down, and it really is just as great for my mind as it is for my body!    It is important, and I find the time to make it happen.    Some weeks I go more than others, but I make sure I go.    I want to be healthy for Gracie and I want to be the best me I can be.

I have to remind myself that it is easy to not do stuff……The easy route would be work one job, blow off a work out when I’m tired, relax when I feel like it….. but easy is not the life I want.   Everything worth having is hard work.   That includes our health.   No one becomes great at anything by doing what is easy.

I love this busy life, I wouldn’t change anything!   I’m so lucky to have the most supportive husband who never tries to slow me down.   As tired as I get, and as hard as I push, I sure am blessed.   Namaste.
