This is a guest post by Matthew Perry.
Of course, at least once in your life…and I have too, too many times to count in fact.
And if you haven’t, you are either a liar, or genetically gifted beyond the norm. Or, you diet and exercise because your body is your profession and you have to do it (ha-ha!…Just kidding, we should all be so lucky).
What I am trying to get at is it is good to cry every so often when we analyze our bodies. It helps keep ya honest. It helps keep you/me from getting too comfortable. And that is just okay. Our physical bodies give us our own measuring stick…slow down, speed up…or keep cruising.
When we quit looking in the mirror, is when we quit CARING. And no this is not about vanity, it is reality…EVERYONE wants to look good, not only to others, but most importantly to ourselves. And EVERYONE wants to feel good. When you look in the mirror and like what you see, you feel good. When you look in the mirror and want to cry, you feel bad. WE feel bad, as everyone is in this together.
Now, sometimes the shame of not eating right and exercising keeps us from looking…that old ignorance is bliss thing. Maybe you keep the robe on right up until the clothes go on…just so you don’t catch a glimpse.
So what’s the KEY INGREDIENT…to help keep the tears at bay? Hold on to your hats…
IT IS BEING PRESENT!!!
To-to-Today People!
That is it, right now…not what you did yesterday, not what you think you are going to do tomorrow…or this summer…being “present” is now, as you are reading these little words.
Being present is making decisions today, right now, to commit to health and fitness…while allowing yourself to not be perfect. Being present is knowing that the decisions your make today, right now, about YOUR health and fitness effect tomorrow…Effect your mind…Effect your body…Effect your family…Etc…
Now I must ask you, are you present?
