Walk with a purpose

I love to walk.  I sometimes wish I loved to run as much as I like walking, but I came to peace with the fact that I'm not into running.  With that said, I don't force myself to run, unless of course I get inspired to jog like a half a mile and continue walking the rest of the way.  On average, I walk 3-4 miles, three days a week.  I have my favorite spots that I frequent, but I'm open to new places as well.

Today's post is about not just walking, but walking with a purpose.  As much as music inspires my life, I prefer to listen to podcasts, meditations, lectures and other conversations that interest me.  For example, I listened to an interview about how to forgive and let go of "things" or energy that doesn't serve you anymore.  Listening to it made me put my thoughts and energy into motion and I literally felt like I was leaving all the negative stuff behind and walking towards a better life.  I am a very happy, positive person but I still find that I constantly have to work at that.  With time, things get easier and I accomplish being happy faster than when I started my journey a few years ago.  The thought of that puts a smile on my face, knowing I have so many amazing things and experiences to look forward to.

I focused on walking towards my future, having a successful career and a smooth move to NYC. It only took me a half hour but I already feel so much better about my decisions.  Now will I have to go out there and walk with my thoughts some more? Of course, but I'll do it gladly.

Every action that you do, make sure you do it with a positive attitude... You will receive so much in return.  Namaste everyone.

Meditation before going to bed.

Tonight I am grateful for tomorrow.

As I fall asleep tonight, I will focus on appreciating what tomorrow has in store for me.  I will let go of any attachments to expectations I have for myself, and surrender to the moment.  I smile as I feel and think these thoughts.  All is well.  Everyday and in every way I am better and better, and so it is.

Sweet Dreams!!
