]]> lani_sit_brightcroop200Am I primed, motivated, and eager to work out each and every time that I do?

Guess again.

Yet there isn't a day that I wake up feeling strong, fit, slim, and energetic that I don't absolutely, thoroughly, completely relish and enjoy the fact that I am.

You better believe it.

THIS my friends is the real deal.

What keeps me going

You know what keeps me going with healthy practices?  This means

  • regular exercise
  • a whole foods, plant-based diet
  • stress protection and management (don't leave it to chance)
  • flexibility training, and
  • activities for practice of mindset and mastery.

What keeps me going is that there is nothing like feeling fit, toned, energetic, and slim.

No matter what else life brings your way.  (Trust me on this one, I know.)

But being resilient, full of vitality, and FREE of the remorse and dissatisfaction with extra weight, sluggish energy, and bad health due to choices has been more than a blessing.

It's been a life saver AND a life maker.

Make no mistake

Being healthy and fit bring enormous benefits for your quality of life.

This means how much vitality you have each day as well as physical and mental resiliency for all that we find ourselves amidst as part of the human predicament.

You will live better and more productively if your body and mental training are cultivated intentionally.

Don't leave it to chance.

Make it a priority.  Get support if needed.  Put on your own oxygen mask first.

And enjoy what the fit enjoy.

lani_muelrath_hs_t-tap_lighLast weekend's spa getaway experience delivered in delightfully  unexpected ways.

Oh, sure.  I expected to be relaxed, pampered, and rested.  No question it delivered there.

Remember, I had the challenging task of trying on the spa treatments at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa in preparation for the Muscles, Mud, and Merlot Retreat in November.  FYI: I tested the pineapple papaya body scrub, lomi lomi massage, and shoulder/back massage.

My sisters and I also put in some SERIOUS time in the steam room, which featured an infusion of lavender to clear the head while soothing the muscles.  Delish.

So what was unexpected?

The profound reboot effect.  I came back from this mini-retreat with a new level of equanimity when it comes to my affairs of daily business and tasks.  The carry-over has been surprising.  I expected to be refreshed, yes, but I've also somehow been able to shift into a perspective of new paradigms with business and life's challenges.

That's why I'm calling it a reboot.  It's as if my hard drive had become overloaded with too many conflicting programs.  Have you ever done the "de fragmenting" process on your computer?  It's a good analogy for the effect of last weekend.

Not to be forgotten…

Notice I mentioned my sisters?
We each live in a different corner of the country, and after the experience of losing both of our parents over the course of the past two years,  we vowed last summer to, within one year's time, meet together for a getaway.

And we did it!

Reconnecting in this way added immeasurably to the experience.  Weaving in and out of positive childhood experiences, whether on the trail through the redwoods (we went hiking, too), stopping for an olive oil tasting in a charming hamlet smack dab in the heart of wine country, eating lunch at the cantina or luxuriating in the spa before and after treatments, it became a time to let go of the challenges of the past two years and build some new memories.

Perhaps it has somehow made us each more resilient.  I'm processing this as I write – I'll have to check with each of my sisters as well.

Find your own way to reboot…

Maybe you'll find some time to disconnect and unplug over this holiday weekend, too. You'll have to make it happen, though.  These experiences rarely just pop in, though the opportunities do – we just need to notice them and raise our hand to take part.

Can you do that?  Promise?
