This time reminds me of when I had to drive myself to prison. You know it’s there, you know you have to do it.. and you “willingly” follow along with this unforeseeable future. I remember walking in… being semi scared of everything and nothing. And I recall saying to myself, “get up and never give up”.
This is the mantra along with others that would help me get through so much. It was a model my mom showed to us boys. If you get knocked down, get back up.. keep moving! Now, my mom (Kathy) didn’t say it in those words.. she showed it in her actions. We witnessed jobs and businesses lost, struggles of trying to make anything meet…the list can go on.
The reason I am reminded of this, is because there is this time, we are all in. Where we may feel “confined” in our houses with an unforeseeable end. This can be daunting when you look ahead.. but do me one favor, look down at your feet, look at the nearest thing close to you. Your family, your kids, or your pets.. even just the ground. We cannot do anything about the future.
We can only control the right now. What’s happened is gone and what is, isn’t clear. But what is clear is how we make the best with what we have. Its a space you may have been in before, or this could be a space that’s brand new. I say this not be unempathetic, but things can always be worse then right now. If we are healthy we have that, if we are breathing, we are blessed. IF we have support and love near us.. we are not alone. And hey, now if we have some weights.. we have so many more options for fitness! 🙂
We come out of this stronger as a person. Adversity isn’t easy, but the workouts you choose to put yourself through aren’t either, and you do them with better insights when you’re finished. You’ve been training for this the whole time.
Today at 10am Lisa Roach will be putting on a Mobility Lab in FaceBook Live! Don’t worry, if you don’t have FB we will re-broadcast on our YouTube Channel!
Also, if you can, GET OUTSIDE today. Just a tip for you 😉
And one more thing.. if you have weights.. try Friday’s workout we didn’t get to do!
