Does it have to be work?

There are a lot of things that I’m working on!  I’m working on my work at the university.  I’m working on my new business with USANA.  I’m working on losing weight.  I’m working on cleaning my apartment.  I’m working on having fun…

WAIT!  Having fun shouldn’t be work!

So, may be the things I’ve learned about life are…well, backwards!  May be work should be fun!  May be losing weight should be joyful!  May be I should love the hell out of cleaning my apartment!  May be the things that I do in every second should bring me joy!  Sound silly?  I don’t think so!

If I think about the way we approach weight loss…we look at it like it has to be work.  It has to be punishment.  It has to be hard.  We have to be tough on ourselves.  Hell!  No wonder it doesn’t work or it doesn’t last!

Why don’t we ask our bodies what feels good and do that?

Laugh a little.  Love a little. Dance a little.  Be silly a little…or a lot!  But for heavens sake don’t make yourself pay a price because you think that’s the way you should live life!  Is that really the way you want to remember the way you approached the days you’ve been given?
