Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

If you can, I seriously recommend it...

Here's the dealio.

Starting this last Monday, I have been exercising consistently every day. The thing that makes this different and special and easier to keep up is that I'm swimming! It's so much easier on my body. I don't feel like my legs are going to fall off or that my knees are going to break, or that I'm going to roll an ankle. It's just nice.

Yes. 6:30 am is early. And yes, that means that I get up at about 5:45 to get ready and pull everything together for the day, but seriously, folks, it's worth it. No joke. I have been feeling so good this week! I'm awake and warm when I get out of the pool and  I get ready and eat a bit of breakfast before my first class at 8.

It's my first week and I'm so tired today. I can tell that I've been doing extra stuff that is taxing on my body, but it will get easier and I will get better and faster and more athletic and buff and skinny... those are all good things, right? Right! I'm not saying that I'm gonna be the next female Michael Phelps because that is SO not going to happen. I'm definitely one of the slowest in the pool, maybe even counting the cute old folks doing their water aerobics, but I feel good about myself and that's all that matters, true?

So what are you saying, Christina? I'm saying, come swim with me! It makes a world of difference despite how early it is! I'm happeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! (Okay, so there's no 'e' in happy, but you get my point)

Peace out, enjoy your weekend.

 

But honestly, check out that muscle definition! :)
