So I took the plunge… Yep, day 1 back in the water post IMAZ
2012. The water, supremely chilly, seemed to slowly freeze the outer layers of
my flesh with each progressive lap and yet, as it did it seemed almost
soothing. Cooling, refreshing, healing in many ways.
Over the past 2 and a half weeks I have climbed to the
towers, ridden around the mountain, done my fair share of running, taken a yoga
class and even pressed a little weight (with the help of a near and trusted
friend =) ) . But as of yet I am still goalless in many regards.
I have ideas of what I would like to see with regard to my
health, fitness and training in the year to come but the goals have not been
penned and the decisions have not been made. Guess you could say I have not
committed.
With LTFs big Commitment day ahead of us in the coming month
the word Commitment has been resonating with me lately. What am I ready to
commit to in 2013? What will the new year bring? What do I want to accomplish?
What really matters to me in terms of health wellness and fitness?
These questions swirl in my mind… I know I have so much
potential… how to I tap into it? How do I know that what I choose will be a
success? And as I write this the answers seem to unfold as easy as the
questions… I don’t know.. I won’t know.. and that is ok. Success isn’t the
goal. The goal is in the application, choosing to do something and seeing it
through. Choosing to do something and listening to the subtle cues that arise
within me as the process unfolds. Those subtle cues will lead the way.
In all the busy-ness of setting goals and accomplishing
tasks and finding success lies the gently quietness within each of us that I
would call our truth. Listen to that truth, covet that truth.. it is from that
truth that we find peace, find love, find wholeness, and connection… after all,
isn’t that why we are here in the first place?
So in the end, I guess it doesn’t really matter end goal I
commit to in the new year. What matters is that I pick one and then further
commit to staying alive and awake to my own personal process as the moments of
each day unfold before me.
I encourage you to do the same. =)
