The problem: she got off the bed and can't jump back up. After much coaxing and then a stern command through gritted teeth, she makes an attempt. Yeah! Success! but not without a struggle. I start to notice that she is having difficulty with this task on a regular basis.
After assessing the situation, I decide that Crystal, my dog, needs a walk. As we start walking, her extra "winter accumulation" bulges and shakes. So does mine! Yep, we both need a walk...daily!
Weighty matters of life can make even simple tasks like jumping up onto the bed seem difficult. A beautiful woman I spoke with recently struggles with deciding whether to take a shower or eat breakfast in the morning. As we spoke about possible reasons this problem exists, she discovers that she has spread herself so thin, limiting her personal time so drastically that everyday tasks weigh heavily on her. Her exploration of this matter leads her to make a plan that frees up the personal time she needs to be truly happy. In other words, she walks the dog. She is brilliant!
I encourage you today to locate the circumstances that your current condition makes hard to navigate. Once you address the problem, you can find what change needs to occur. Make a plan of daily activities that will create the change you need to make your life more satisfying. Like Crystal, you may need to restart a good habit that you fell away from. Or like me, you may need to discover new thinking patterns and create new, powerful habits.
Whatever is keeping you off the bed today, take action. Walk the dog!

As for Crystal and me, I'm not sure we'll be "bikini ready" this summer, but we can jump up on the bed and have more energy to get off of it! We feel great and are enjoying a truly fulfilling life.
