"Fit-Ful" is a term created by Lesa which means, the union of fitness and beauty from within (FITness and beautiFUL). Working on fitness to incorporate improved health and self-esteem along with working on internal beauty by developing connections to self image, spirituality of life and society's connection. Beauty from within is much more important than external beauty. How we treat ourselves and others speaks deeper than what clothes we wear.

This is truly beautiful.

Peace and health!

"Fit-Ful Fridays" blog for 12/11/09

Acceptance VS. Resistance...

Maybe you've seen the movie "Yes Man!".

If you have not, it is one that I recommend. Not just for the pure comedy that is Jim Carey, but for the education.

From personal experience, I have found that when I enter a situation with acceptance, I find better results. Inside, I might be thinking "there is no way this is going to work". However, if I've approached from a positive standpoint-the result can be amazing. Maybe one that I hadn't imagined for myself. Yet, with acceptance I find an new experience that my "self" may not have allowed me to take.

On the opposite end of the spectrum...there is resistance. Entering a situation with resistance causes the body to become tense: increased heart rate, head pressure, lack of energy, hypertension...the list goes on.

I have found that resistance can sometimes lead to an unneccessary battle...against the law of fate. Things happen for a reason. Being able to let go and take the ride can be difficult but invigorating at the same time. Imagine a rollar coaster...going up, you may wonder "why did I willingly get on this ride?"...everyone has their own experience during the ride...some people laugh, cry, vomit...but, the way down is a rush. Some people close their eyes, put their hands up, want to see the view at the top...

Most of the time, at the end of the ride you are glad you did it. Maybe you overcame a fear. Maybe you had the best time ever. Maybe you decide to never ride again.

But...bottom line, you did it.

Next time someone asks you for something, try answering with acceptance. It doesn't mean that you need to say yes to everything. But, rather than saying no all of the time...try yes.

"Maybe" or "Let me get back to you" can work if you have a hard time switching to yes.

See what your experience is with your new found reaction of acceptance.

With love,
Lesa

The quote is true:

Whether you think you can or you think you can't...you're right.
