Get Dressed. Show Up

Get dressed.

Show up.

For the past two weeks I have been involved in self experiment of sorts; getting dressed.

Now, don't get me wrong, I get dressed most days.  In the recent past, there were days pajamas were the attire for the whole day. Pajama day.  Easy, relaxing and comfy.

These days, I'm on a bit of a roll with changing my habits.  I have been working with myself to change the way I move in the world, and it occurred to me getting dressed first thing may be an easy change to do.

I thought it would be uncomfortable and I wouldn't like it. Since I love quiet reflective mornings I figured my pajamas were the perfect costume for this.

I was mistaken. Being ready to create the day is more in my style it seems.

It has been very easy in fact - getting up and getting dressed right away has lead me to more productive days.

As I consider - it's possibly because I get up, get dressed and begin - the day has started - and since I am already dressed, there is one less thing to do in my day.

I have been getting up, getting dressed and showing up for myself earlier - and this has enhanced the quality of my day immensely.

What is one small change you could do to enhance the quality of your day?

Today it is the first day of spring. It is welcomed. Today is also the first day in a long while, perhaps a month, since I sat down with the healing, nuturing power of my journal.  I wrote intentions for moving forward, I wrote about desires I want to see come into full being.  I wrote. Is there something from your past, something from your wellness care that has worked and yet you have dropped it or it has slipped from your daily round? Is it time, now, to begin, again?

Today, I was honoured, again.

Today I was honoured, again.  I was honoured last week as well.  How was I honoured?  I have had two people on separate occasions ask - 'how did you begin, I want to do what you do'.  I am honoured.  Thank you, for asking.  There has not been one course or one school I attended to become or to be what I am now.  I feel my role is to support people as they remember happiness is their truth - and I support people to be happy in all they do.  Simple.  Maybe?  I do this through of a variety of ways. Mostly I do it by being me.  I started all of this really in the early 1990s as a volunteer fitness instructor with our local YMCA because of a fitness class I attended in the late 1980s {baby making years} - I thought, 'I could do that' and I did.  I took all the required courses (I believe proper training is important) and I began teaching classes, I then saw a need to do one on one training and began that -- at the time there were no real courses to support this desire,
