Trying To Be the Change I want to See.

At least I am out there doing something. Well after two years of walking at lunch, it has finally rubbed off. I now have 4- 6 girls walking with me at lunch on a daily basis. And we don't just walk, we power walk. Yesterday was a hot one and we downed the tank tops and we were out there. Just don't care how it looks but we do it and that is what matters. (It is those that watch from a far that are jealous and make fun of you. They wish they were you. ) If you stick with it long enough it is bound to rub off.
Be the change you want to see in others. That has been a haunting phrase I have been hearing. To be honest, it does work. I have witness this first hand. When you see a couple cozing up to each other doesn't that make you want to grab for your better half and do the same. I just seen it at the ball field. Wasn't sure it was done out of love or jealousy but I seen it. If you don't get that-you have to have been there or just ask! Any how. finding out that-that it starts with me. I need to change first. That is a hard one especially when it is dealing with the ones that hurt more than I want to say. But respect them first and maybe just maybe they will toss you a bone. Hard concept to grab on too but worth it in the end.
When you see someone out there running or biking doesn't it make you want to go get your tennis shoes. It does me. It only becomes a problem when I can't find that hour window to do it. Well I am finally coming to grips that it doesn't have to be the whole enchilada at once. Every step counts. Do it increments and they all still add up. Thirty minutes at lunch and thirty at home, still an hour. My busy life can not be an excuse. I hear it in my patients on a daily basis. I also see that they are thirty to fifty pounds over weight! I try to encourage them to just get out there and move. One step at a time. Small goals does equal big ones at the end of the day if you add it up. At the end of the day it is still the same equation-calories in and calories out. Hmm sooo simple but yet so many just don't get it.
Same premise, what you put into your life=what you get out. Maybe not soon as you want but eventually. Maybe that is why we put off. Not getting the results as soon as we want. Well I too have learned this one-not in my time but HIS. I need to be reminded of that one all the time.
So be the change you want to see in others today and let me know if it works. You may be surprised right away or when you think that your about it give up. You may never know who you inspire. Like the commercial says "Just Do It".
