Giving time more life
-
I listened to a podcast recently.
She said something, which totally sat with me, and has stayed with me since. I sent it to a friend, these words, and she agreed.
“You can’t give your life more time…
But you can give your time more life…”
Just this. Quite simple really, but with so much meaning held… ‘just’ this.
I have said previously, my main focus of this year has been my fitness. With fitness, for me, time spent outside is inherent.
With fitness, for me, is a connection to my children, whereby, they see me purposefully gain health and vitality, so, thereon, they also see it as a normal. They both play football, and for us, exercise is a huge part of our family time. I want them to have a fit mum. To feel proud of me. As I am of them.
It’s for me. It makes me feel calm. It gives me focus and clarity. Time to think. Time to recalibrate. Time to decompress.
It’s where I ponder new artworks, form new writings, place words next to pictures, and create new things in my imagination. I’ll then come home, and spend time placing these upon paper.
It makes me feel vital. It excites my soul. It makes me feel I have more to give to the world, and with that, so much more to give to myself as a result.
I feel powerful and full of ambition. It makes me believe I can be more. Do more. Achieve more. Provide more. Give more. Rest more. Smile more. Make time to be sad more sometimes also.
In other words… my life is more fuller for it. I give more to my life, in order to LIVE it.
My focus. My priority. My girls. It’s all part and parcel.
Running and fitness.
Inspiration sits amongst it all like a shiny little trinket.
