Simplify: Monday and Tuesday Week 7

     During Monday’s yoga class the teacher, Leigh Ann, talked about the idea of simplifying.  She talked about all the layers that we require of ourselves and the demands we put on ourselves.   She reminded us that sometimes simplifying is letting go of something or it could be quieting the mind to be truly present in the moment.  Perhaps one could even simplify their workouts.  I considered this as I made my exercise plan for this week and tried to make a challenging yet possible plan.   

      As Moms our to-do lists can be extremely long:  work duties, household choes, shopping, fixing meals, getting the kids ready for school, volunteering, etc…  How much pressure do you put on yourself to be “Super Mom”?  What task can you let go of to simplify and enjoy life more?        

       This morning, Tuesday, I went for a 30′ jog around the neighborhood.  This has gotten my day off to a great start.  I love getting my workout in first thing and running when it is still quiet outside is relaxing.  I’ll be looking today for other ways to simplify and let go of tasks that are keeping me from enjoying the moment.

Live Well,

Laura
