Rampage of Appreciation

Posted on Oct 18th, 2007 by Lori : Simply Being Lori
Life is beautiful and amazing. How can we ever lose sight of this? When I find my mood less than EUPHORIC I love going on a rampage of appreciation. I have even jumped into the shower and smelled my soap and said " I freaking love my soap, thank you!" I mean seriously it sounds silly, but when was the last time you were thankful for every little detail of your life? How many people would love to be you? And here you are unsatisfied with life. OK, not unsatisfied, maybe just not exactly where you thought you should be at this time in your life. Hmmm.... Well...

Intention/ Purpose

How do you know what the heck it is you want and if you accomplished it if you never set the tone for the day.? I have days where I have done this & have been amazed with exactly what happened. Then on the days I don't  I felt more frustration. Maybe because I am going in circles and not really focused on my purpose of the day. Please set your intentions & remember them all day. Catch yourself. Are my actions in alignment with why intentions? It makes no sense to stuff your face with cake and be saying " I am growing thinner" You actions should match your purpose. Once you get the hang of it will power disappears and you find yourself exactly where you envisioned yourself to be. It feels effortless. I just  wake up every morning and run my hands all over my body and I  visualize every cell perfecting and being totally clean and healthy and be so excited just thinking of what perfect felt like. I start kissing every inch of myself visually. I ask myself  "How many women would die to have my body? " " How lucky am I to be perfectly capable to do anything I wanted, I have health, I have strength, I do not have anything limiting me. I am not in a wheelchair and all my limbs are fully capable of anything."

Gratitude...To all you Ungrateful ...Get a reality check now!

We take ourselves for granted. Seriously, how many  are less fortunate than you? How many would beg to have your health, your ability to move. The ability to live in a country where you can express yourself  any way your wish? How many other countries filled with people who would love to have your life? Stop comparing yourself to others and focusing on all your short comings. Focus on how damn good it is to be you. Write it out for Gods sake.

Today I wrote MY RAMPAGE OF GRATITUDE!

I loved the paragraph on Exercise, except the second one, I wish I moved with grace and beauty.  Having just started running again I am becoming better acquainted with those old friends…I expecially love that slightly tired, slightly achy feeling you get after you've pushed youself a little harder than usual.
