Feel Inspired in an Instant

It's easy to do the same old thing all the time, isn't it? There I was at the gym today doing the same old thing listening to the same old music feeling the same old feelings. What feelings? You know the ones. The feelings of hot and cold, I want to but not really, trying to be inspired but not quite there. I wanted to feel inspired, lifted up, purposeful, and excited about my next move. The word inspired actually means in spirit - I wanted to feel THAT!

I switched from my usual playlist to something a little different. It's not a playlist that you would typically think of as a motivator, but it was something outside of my usual scope. And then there it was. A song that reminded me of the day that my son was born. In an instant, I...was....INSPIRED!

I remembered that day as if it was actually happening. I remembered the first time I ever touched the bottom of his foot - it was the closest I have ever been to something holy. I remembered the sound of his cry, his breathing, and every movement he made. I felt the love, the overwhelming joy, and the spirit of that very moment.

I was there in that moment. I was experiencing it as if it was actually happening right now, and I was in between sets at the gym. But I wasn't at the gym in my mind. I was in that moment. I felt it now. I was inspired!

Needless to say, my workout, my attitude, and my entire day has been changed by this one moment in my day today. This one thought changed everything. Even as I sit here typing these words now, I still feel it. It's wonderful. I knew I had to share it with you today.

We have that ability, that power. You have that power. You can change anything about what you are experiencing into anything that you want at right now. Please try it. Take a moment today when you don't feel inspired, and bring into your thoughts one of the most incredible moments of your life - the birth of a child, falling in love, the joy of helping others. Whatever it might be for you, bring it to the front of your thoughts, dwell on it, remember it exactly as it happened down to the tiniest detail, and feel inspired. It will change everything in an instant.

Rooting you on!
