AGLOW WITH ENTHUSIASM

You go house hunting, and upon walking into a dream home that’s up for sale,  you have so much enthusiasm for it, you can’t contain yourself. You love this house. You want this house. It’s the one! BUT, then your spouse whispers to you something like, “Shhhh….play it cool. Tone it down,” because the realtor is watching.

This scenario is truly painful for me not just because I’m bad at playing it cool, but because repressing enthusiasm feels so wrong. Deep in my heart, I feel enthusiasm is not just a good thing – it’s EPIC.

“I’m aglow with enthusiasm” is our affirmation of the week and I am aglow with enthusiasm for it. 🥰  But all kidding aside, unlike in a real estate transaction, enthusiasm is celebrated at all times in my universe because it’s a key ingredient to getting and staying fit. Here’s why: 

1. Enthusiasm gives us energy. It’s like an espresso shot. It awakens us and makes us feel alive.
2. Enthusiasm puts us in the moment. We’re not watching the clock when enthusiasm comes to town.
3. Enthusiasm directs our focus. Distractions fade away as we hone in on what we’re enthusiastic about.
4. And because of the first three, enthusiasm sustains us. Yup, it keeps us going. 

There’s no doubt fitness goals will be reached – and be reached in pretty pleasant manner – when we stockpile enthusiasm. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but with enthusiasm Rome will be built!  So let’s go. The time is now. We’re ten toes in. Let’s Move!
