I think fitness doesn't have to be separate from your life unless you want it to be. You can play a sport, walk your dog, bike in nature somewhere you'd want to go anyway...or dance with the sky or get in the mix and play with your kids...you can get a lot of exercise joining a game of tag! Then perhaps you want to add some element: maybe you want to lift weights or do some abs or something, but a lot of fitness can be had through play and joyful living without it needing to be an extra thing. Of course if you want to run a marathon for YOU, then training needs to be more formal, but for health, fitness and play need not be separate.

Great Reminders for the day!

Honour your life circumstances and personal attributes - we tend to set goals and when we are couldn't achieve it, we tend to regret and make it a point to treat ourselves as failure. The capacity of achieving any goals lies in the reality of making it happen. When it doesn't happen, we really have to reset retune readjust the goals and try to achieve in smaller measure and that makes it possible to aim higher later.
