30 Lessons I've
Learned in 30 Years
My healthy observations over the
past 30 years of life. About your body, eating, work and living your dreams.
Some I practice daily and others
I've only recently discovered. I'm certainly no saint, though I've learned a
thing or two...
I hope for this list to inspire,
entertain and maybe even motivate you to react. In whichever way feels right.
30
things I've learned in 30 years
1. Having fat does not make you fat.
2. Being skinny doesn't
"fix" what you think it does.
3. Neither does eating your
feelings.
4. Thrashing, grunting and forcing
your body isn't exercise, it's just craziness.
5. Childlike playfulness need never
(nor should it) end.
6. Stand tall and proud, your mind
will catch up with your body.
7. Wrinkles are OK when they're made
from laughter.
8. Vegetables are always a good idea
and there's nothing wrong with fruit.
9. Your instincts are all-knowing,
connect with them.
10. Love with all you have -- of
others, of the world around you, of yourself.
11. Curiosity has no age.
12. Shoes always fit.
13. Travel is worth more than it's
price tag.
14. No diet, beauty treatment or
healer can ever do for you, what you can for yourself.
15. Age means whatever you wish it
to be.
16. Dance (not just in your head).
17. Try to spend as much time loving
as you do hating yourself.
18. Yoga isn't all ohm's and
chanting, I promise.
19. Be a lifelong student, it keeps
you young.
20. Smile, it changes your entire
perspective.
21. Move because you can.
22. You are not what you do, or your
weight.
23. If nothing else, strive for
balance in all things.
24. Breathe deeply, even if only for
a minute.
25. Just as the '90s song states,
wear sunscreen.
26. Water is the fountain of youth,
drink up.
27. Get upside down once in a while.
28. If nine hours of sleep is what
you need, then get it.
29. Put down the phone once in a
while.
30. You are not only enough, you are
magnificent, exactly as you are right now.
There will always be someone
stronger, funnier, more successful, beautiful and smarter than me, just as
there will be the opposite.
The truth is that it doesn't have
any value or really even relevance to all that I am.
Or to you.
Our blessed world is full of
competition and comparison. It's also full of misery and suffering, often from
people with the "most."
Drop the external focus and
celebrate all that you have and are.
Not overshadowing others though in
celebration of and with them.
Namaste xx
