What gets you motivated? What moves you? Is it just one thing or is it a number of things? I found it is numerous things which affect me differently. Somethings affect my emotional well-being, other things affect my physical and spiritual self, it can be separately or a combination of the two or all three.
Today, I began asking myself this question, after my morning workout. This was a morning outside of my routine. My usual morning involves myself only. Everyone in the house is still in bed sleeping, and most times, still are sleeping when I leave. But this morning, my daughter was up and ready to join my morning. I'm usually waiting to the last minute to get out of bed, but having her so excited to go with me to work and see that excitement on her face was my motivation to get up and moving.
It was also a morning of great life lessons of acquiring healthy ways of living and still having fun while doing it. We enjoyed a full workout. We shared a breakfast of Greek Vanilla Yogurt with Kashi GoLean Crunch and diced strawberries, which is one of her most favorite things to eat at anytime of the day.
I'm very lucky and blessed to have such a compassionate, empathetic and smart young lady in my life. Like any of us, she has a day that brings back those memories of me being sick and being so close to losing me. But I hope that I can show her by my words of encouragement and my actions, that even though we've been through some hurdles, that we can carry on and embrace the 'life' that we have been given. :)
Thanks "A" for being such a wonderful daughter. You make me so proud and 'motivate' me to be a better person and mother!!! I Love You!!!
