Here it is, ONE week, 7 days til Christmas! YIKES! Are you ready? Last minute shopping, wrappin’, stressin’, depressin’, out of moola $$…..
I feel ya. HOWEVER, WHY? Christmas is every year, the same date, the same traditions. So why do we let it make us act the complete opposite of what the season is truly about? If you step outside of mind, your “world”, your life, your everyday chaos. If you stop, for a moment, look around. Look at all you have. Look at your friends, family, pets, cars, house(s), food in your cupboards. Look at your job, your kids, your kids activities. Everything we take for granted is a blessing over looked. We don’t NEED things to make our lives “better”. It is up to us to do that, but so many of us fail at seeing the small things in life as the GREAT things.
Today, at my group session, I held my “MabFit Favorite Things”. My favorites of 2016 to share with my devoted clientele. I LOVE this day! I LOVE TO GIVE! I LOVE to see the smiles on the faces on the recipient. But what’s better than that, TIME! The time and thought that went into the gift that was in the bag; and then the person receiving it. (Coincidentally, it amazes me how each item I think about a few people who would really enjoy it, and typically those are the same people who choose that gift. ) The TIME of being with each group, every stinkin’ Sunday! Even those Sunday’s when I’d rather sleep in (and I am sure you do too!) The time I have with each group, with each individual, is much more than a workout. Whether you know it or not, I am making it a point to learn about you, your likes, dislikes, strengths, fears, and wishes. TIME
Back to the “time” thing. TIME, we spend a lot of time worrying about needless stuff! Why not use that TIME for more meaningful act of giving. Just spending TIME with someone is a huge gift itself. Time with someone …yes, we are all busy! But somehow we always have TIME for social media, complaining, to watch TV……TIME with someone, go for a walk, go to a movie, just stop in for 5 minutes of TIME, or hey ….how about EXERCISE together. Now there’s a novel idea!
As Christmas day approaches, and you’re hustling about, rushing here and there. Not sure what to get the cousins, aunts, parents….stop and think of them and what they do with their TIME…and if you can’t think of anything material then maybe you need to spend some TIME with them.
To all of my clients, carry on this week with a full heart or TIME! Don’t waste it!
DO THE WORK!
MABFIT!
