Feel Better Every Day

I know it won’t be too long before I’m looking forward to spring, but for now I’m happy to have life slow down a little bit…

I spent most of last weekend watching cyclocross at a Christmas Tree farm. I’m not racing yet because my knees are still recovering, but it was so much fun to watch and socialize!

I’ve known many of the people who attend and race for at least a few years. It's amazing to see people from their 20's all the way into their 70's take part. Staying active is so important to feel good in your body at any age!

It did, however, make me think about how many people focus on their weight instead of how they feel. I can't say that's not me sometimes, too. 

But when you only focus on that one thing, you’re missing out on the big-picture view.

Which is too bad, because that view makes a HUGE difference in your motivation.

The goal isn’t just about your weight or what you see in the mirror - It’s about making your life better. When you treat your body with the care it needs, you have more energy, your anxiety goes down, your mood gets better, your focus improves, and your skin even looks better.

It’s all related: When you exercise, you sleep better. When you sleep better, your cravings don’t run the show. And when your cravings don’t run the show, you make healthier choices. And when you make healthier choices, you feel like yourself again. It's like an amazing positive-feedback loop!

It also doesn't take long to start feeling the difference. And that's the most important part: how you feel! I may never look like I'm 20 again, but I know that I can wake up well rested, have energy to do the things I want to, and feel good in my body. You can too - a few tiny changes can make all the difference.
