Dreams, Goals, Aspirations

I woke up to a really great day today! I'll try to explain... Today being a Friday meant I was, at this point, not really looking forward to running this morning being that by this time my body was worn out from the week's work. However, I had no choice but to push myself. I got to the track and started rather slowly telling myself to just take it easy and then get it over with. Minutes into the run I realized I felt a lot better and had this new burst of energy. In no time, it was all over and in record time too.  Could it be that the times we are tired, worn out and demotivated are actually the defining moments, when we are weak and unwilling, could those times be the moment where real molding and transformation occurs? Could it just be that the biggest struggle isn't with the task ahead but with the decision to " just do it" to just go ahead and face the task ahead. I learned today that not only must I start regardless of how I feel, but I must also f...

These are just some thoughts... random thoughts I'd like to just put out there. They actually stem from my experience running everyday, five times a week for about two months plus. To start with, I realized the attention I used to get from passerby's were really distracting and it took a  lot out of me just trying to stay focused needless to say I was really self conscious. The long stares, slight chuckles, strange glares the finger pointing, the picture taking.. with all these going on one would thing I was doing more than just jogging/running. This was really a problem to say the least and it bothered me quite a lot but beneath all these I found the opportunity to practice " FOCUS (ing )". Believe it or not I literarily felt drained each time I exchanged glances with people passing by and would struggle for a bit fighting back a myriad of thoughts (why, what are they looking at I'm only jogging) that would flood my head for a bit as I re-gain my focus. De...

Sadness, moodiness and unease are all I have been stewing in lately. I usually feel this way when I I'm not really doing what I am supposed to be doing. By this I mean whenever I am not taking maximum action on my dreams and goals, basically when I'm doing nothing to get me closer to where I want to be. It depresses me to say the least. The only thing I have been able to keep consistent is- running every morning, as I try to build up my endurance and that's basically it! whilst the other little things suffer at the hand of my over compulsive addiction to Instagram. Things became a little more gloomy when I realized it was nearing mid October and I barely have enough time to accomplish what I set out to achieve this year. Which brings me to the fact that I haven't even shared my long-term and short-term goals.  My goals are really simple, nothing far fetched. In the long term, I would like to fully start learning Yoga on a professional level, travel for an inte...

Nobody told me falling and failing were part of the process. That in the process of achieving my goals, there are so many times I won't get it right. That failing is part of the process. Even though this is difficult to accept I admit it is true. I am saying this because just after I reach some level of improvement or advancement it is usually followed by some (major) or minor setbacks. Now, even though I am 3 months into my weight loss/bikini body program, I feel like I am starting all over again.  I have learned so many things and I still continue to learn. I have experienced first hand the importance of consistency, the value of focus, discipline, determination, flexibility endurance, patience and most recently of course that mistakes and setbacks are only part of the price that one has to pay for ones dreams. The "people" part and the "what they think" factor is as real as ever to me as I get a lot of questions as to why I am training so hard. ...

I have always been one to be extremely excited about new things, be it new beginnings, projects, or otherwise. That goes without saying that I'm super excited about this space, this opportunity to just express myself, but most especially, try to document my feelings through the process of me chasing my dreams in a simple but interesting way. The biggest reward will hopefully be being able to look back and see how far I have come and hopefully inspire someone, or just put out stuff that will hopefully be inspiring. I intend to share my dreams (they aren't astronomic *laughs*)  through texts, pictures videos and audio. That reminds me... I have to buy a new camera *giggles* I have so much to say, and I can't wait to get started. They say the " j ourney of a thousand miles begins with a single st ep..." well, here's my story, my journey, my Dreams, Goals and Aspirations beginning right here right now. 💖
