Do more of what makes you happy! Well, thats what the front of my journal says. As I read through the pages, I can clearly see what makes me happy. It's when my time is well spent with relationships, family and friends. It's when I am outdoors and I am taking in all of earths beauty. It is when I feel the spirit so strongly that I know without any doubts that He is there and I can feel the purpose of my life.Last week I started taking a pilates class in the Riverwoods. Thank you Groupon :) It has been such a positive presence in my life in such a short amount of time. I am pushed physically, I let my mind rest from worries and forget the outside world. I focus on this body that Heavenly Father has given me, and there is never a moment after a class that I feel unhappy. Legs that feel like jello are a good thing right?
Sometimes in those classes I am looking down, trying to hold onto my strength, my body is literally shaking and I am about to give up until I stare at my socks. Yes, these random black socks with grips on them that I needed for this hour and they say 'be strong' on the top. It's amazing how a few simple words, a reminder so minimal can push us.So this is what I am going to do. I am going to place little reminders, in every space of my life that I am constantly in. Those places? My room, my bathroom, my office at work, my car. I will start there. By small and simple things are great things brought to pass right? All throughout the Book of Mormon we are told to remember. So lets vow to find things to help us remember to be strong. In our moments of weakness, keep pushing, there is a plan in place and we can trust in our Heavenly Fathers timing.
