Hello Superstars! 

It's Sunday and I am preventing my Sunday Blues from taking over! 

The best way to manage my mind is to focus on all I'm grateful for and truly put in my effort into setting my mind straight right away in the morning.

I start my day like all days with 10 minutes Laughter meditation in bed. 

Then I start with a gratitude for having health, food, a home, family and a cat.

I take big breaths and AAAAH a few times, then it's time for coffee. 

On my table I found my list of to do for Sunday I had in plan...But that was Saturday night when the energized creative night owl in me is operating.

Here comes the bookkeeping with two citizenships, trying to figure out forms and systems, then those blocks on my accounts for me to verify over and over because it does not work (glitches, errors etc). 

Then I have my editing the workout videos and lessons on my workout playlists, feeling that stress of not being able to keep up, missing the energy to set up descriptions, SEO it and then somehow promote all I do too....

My productive self wants me to keep working on my website for presenting my coaching and training services, build kits and programs, keep writing my blog, update my uscreen sites that share about my philosophy...but that website is not optimized for pictures so they get cropped off, not looking good....I can't keep up with myself, what I create one day I've forgotten to package or upload the next day.

My book I'm writing Ram the Super Cat is haunting me, it is itching in my fingers, but then my eye sight is fried from looking at screens. I got that dry eye disease LOL. Yeah, it is apparently real. Saffron extract does help a bit.

In this I am just anxious, worried, feeling overwhelmed. Being a dual citizen and now for the first time filing federal tax USA and Sweden, Europe...I'm a startup again, all costs add up, you know the drill!

"Just hire a pro to help!"...Yeah that is very affordable always!

Now.

I learn so much, I have to dive into it not run away and just do what I love, coaching and interacting with YOU...

I adjust my mind from resisting to spend time calmly to process and educate myself, to enjoy that new information, I gain more knowledge. It is very good for me. 

Today I was going to train, I had it planned. I just don't feel like it. I gotta roll out my glutes and legs, it would motivate me to train since the pains and stiffness would go away, making my training more rewarding.

But do you think I'm motivated to do that? Apparently not. Sunday feels like the wrong day to be diligent. I know it would push me out of my fog and Sunday blues.

I know all this. Still, nah, not today.

I have weaknesses, they are my forever projects in life, and I embrace that. Some things are going to be my challenges that require me to work on it, to commit and never quit or stop doing my best.

And some days I accept I don't want to be or do my best.

That is ok, I don't have to achieve, obtain or get to some goal with my self work.

This is very liberating for me who has the drill sergeant in me who will go wild and enforce things if I let it.

I am writing this because it is SO IMPORTANT you know that you believe you will follow a structure, a plan if I just give you the right plan.

But that plan will not stay the same, it will not be a certainty that the program or workout will work out. You will need to improvise, adjust, tweak and be willing to change plans to keep going.

If you fail to plan you plan to fail, when you plan then you can improvise, and I want you to realize this with me:

When I create my own training plan I do not know if it will be what I end up doing. I know when I get to the training.

If something feels off, pains, aches or I get injured I must be ready for a revision so I keep going, not stand in the middle of the room without knowing what to do.

To you all who are looking for that solid plan....It might be an outdated mindset, you think you can just DO IT, being stubborn and put your effort into it, prove to yourself that you can do it....But to me, it is not how I live my life anymore. 

I would not have a great fitness life or a life if I held on too hard to my plans, instead of going with the flow.

Some days I train really hard, I give my all. Some days I train like a great sissy and I am proud of that.

I am proud that I do not always run myself over, that many days it's OK to just be and escape from it all.

And that is why, today I'm not following my plans, I am going to the forest, listen to the birds, quiet my mind, walk in meditation for 4-5 hours, it goes up to about 30000 steps. 

This routine is in no way the way to maintain my muscle strength, build my body etc but it DOES keep me at peace with myself. That is most important for me.

I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL for YOU who are here!

Do you see the deer? Magic moment yesterday.

See you tomorrow in the FACEBOOK GROUP!
