Practice present-moment awareness in all your actions. Refuse to allow obstacles to consume your attention in the present moment.

Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

I thought I’d share something today that could make you smile, maybe even laugh and, most importantly, might make you reflect.

Today is my day off with Terence which meant that instead of going Fight Fit, I went to the gym for a run. I was happy to do this; I needed to work out some soreness from Monday and Tuesday and I thought a slow, steady 5 km would do the trick.

It did. I left the gym feeling tiredly awesome (that doesn`t make much sense, but hopefully you know what I mean).  Driving home I continued to listen to my running playlist and grooved the short distance from the gym.  As I pulled up in front of Gail and Chris’, the song that I consider my “guilty pleasure” come on – U Smile by Justin Bieber. Yes, it`s true, I`m a 38-year-old woman with a Bieber song on her playlist. Anyway, I decided to film me singing along with THE BIEBS because in moments like these (when I’m enjoying something so completely) I am fully in the present. I’m not thinking of the challenges that I’ll face, the only thing I am doing is “being”.

Clearly singing is not one of my unique talents…
