It’s About the Journey and Not the Destination

Have you ever been so caught up in getting something done or reaching a certain goal, that you forget to enjoy the journey and the “now” moments?

Here is an example that I am living right now and had this very epiphany a few days ago.

As you well know, as we age our bodies change and it’s easier to put on weight. I have been wanting to lose a few pounds for a very long time, but always seem to get side tracked by this treat or this dinner or so on.

The other day I realized that while I am so focused on losing weight, I have been missing out on the simple joy of going for a walk or the great feeling I get when I work out at the gym.

Take this morning… I went for a walk and tried very hard to be in the moment and notice the beautiful blue sky, the cool autumn breeze, the leaves changing color AND…

... the look on the startled squirrel’s face as it came zooming around the bush to find me on the other side. LOL

Life can not be just about the end destination! If it is, we are sure going to miss out on a lot of joy and simple moments to cherish.

My self-care mission for you today, my friend, is to take a moment to look at what destination you are in such a hurry to reach that you are missing the joy and the moments of the actual journey. AND then s-l-o-o-o-o-w down and pay attention to the “now moments!”

Hugs, Rita ❤
