It's days like today that I remember something that is very important:

"So do not throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded."  Hebrews 10:35. Yea, I quoted the Bible.  It's my focus on the future verse that I keep very close to me at all times.

Focus on the future.  Will the future bring me happiness and a fit and fabulous life?  I hope so!  My workout yesterday was with George Grove, at Precision Fitness.  We did a little bit of everything because somehow this weekend we are running the Somerset Inc. sponsored 5K.  Let's hope I don't freeze to death!  But that is my focus for the week. 

Maintain consistency and keep focused on the task at hand:  Be a happy healthy mom, woman, employee... whetever my "role" is, it is important for me to focus on being the best me that I can be.

I'm confident in my abilities most of the time... but then other times, I just get a little flustered and have to look back at all of the things that I can do to make the situation better for me, my family, whomever might be involved. 

I surround myself with positive phrases... a few bible verses are intermingled with just words "inspire, wish, believe" In my wallet, I have a phrase from a fortune cookie and a few notes from friends.  I surround myself with positive words and make sure to do this when I'm working out too... I tried to keep on topic with George and to stay focused on my workout, but kept thinking of all the things that I had to do... and places I had to be.

A wise person told me today that maybe I just needed to stop and think and "be" sometimes.  Alison was with me this morning and I was running late, we all were... the alarm clock didn't go off.  Alison was chirping at me, Mommy Mommy Mommy.  But I stopped myself from the hustle and the bustle of the late morning and just remembered that I would never get that moment back.  So I listened to my little girl, and I stopped and actually just  "was" in the moment with her.  It was nice. 

So for me whether I'm working out, working, or being a mom, I am constantly focused on the future, but I need to make sure to remember to just be a part of the moment sometimes.  Just be.
