Motivational Mondays! Find the Mind-Muscle Connection


Happy Monday!

We hope you enjoyed the weekend and got outdoors for a bit! Windsurfing was a lot of fun! I can't express how important a strong core is for stability and balance on the board! What a great time and fun workout!!!!!! Sunday, I biked around the area with a couple of friends and we had an amazing time with the rolling hills - feel the burn :)

As you start your week and your trying to find something to get you going and stay on track, think about pushing yourself for someone you love and cares about you. As you are working out, focus on breathing and making the connection between your body and mind.

Here are some inspirational thoughts to help you focus.

“Don’t limit investing to the financial world. Invest something of yourself, and you will be richly rewarded.”
~Charles Schwab

“Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.”
~Dale E. Turner

“Accept the challenges, so you may feel the exhilaration of victory.”
~George S. Patton

It Couldn’t Be Done
By Edgar A. Guest


Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it”;
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.


Challenge Accepted,
D & K
