just SIMPLY do it!

I walked. If it hadn't of been for The Power of Three, I would have a made an excuse. Such as, I've been working long hard hours, so I deserve a break from exercising. But I can't let myself left down The Power of Three. But ulitmately, it does me good, clears my head and makes me fresh to press on the rest of the day. Today, it was cold and gloomy out. I headed out without a coat and wished that I had gloves on. But I just pushed it, and I felt refreshed when the 30 minutes was up. I feel like 30 minutes is not enough, but its the consistency that is important for me now. It helped to listen to a Dyer's essay on Tao about the verse that focuses on doing small things. It says 'Do great things while they are small.' It's all about commiting to doing things in small manageable bite size pieces. I think....keep if "Fun Size"....like those little one-bite size candy bars. If I Tackle something while it is small, and it will be fun. Not an overwhelming chore. I'll remember that for work. Everyday my boss ends our morning meeting with "Have Fun." I don't think she means it and how do we have fun at work. This morning in my early morning meditation I decided to focus on work and keep a positive attitude. When it was my turn at the round table to say what was going on in our department. I said, "It's a fun day at LifeQuest and Social Services is rockin' it!"
I'm eating Hershey Kisses now. KISS ....Keep It Simple Stupid. K.I.S.S is an acronyn reminder to do things simple- do not complicate a situation or task. Just simply do it. Just Do it- simple as that. So keep with it while it's simple. Break things down if it seems overwhelming. 30 minutes too much? Then 2 15 minutes, 3 10's, or 30 one minute walks in a day. Just make it simple to do, so it will get done.
We have the same 24 hours in a day that any great inventor, author, artist, athlete, or rocket scientist has in a living day. We can take 30- 1 minutes out each day to Just Simply Do It.
