I LOVE TO RUN FREE

I go to an amazing bootcamp every Monday at 7pm, it is run by Jessica Marie, who is fit, talented, and creative.  Everyone always has a great time, and gets an amazing workout.  What I love the most about it is perspective, this workout actually made me appreciate running.  I do not love running, I do not want to run a marathon, I do not want to track my time, I just want to RUN FREE.  She sets up such a diverse workout, and each part of it is so challenging, that the running is actually a break.  I get such pleasure from taking a break, feeling the cool air all over my body, and knowing I am getting some amazing cardio and burning calories.

Many people I know really connect to the world of running, and I actually enjoy running with them because they are doing the calculating, and it is fun to know that you are improving, but honestly, it is too much work for me.  I just want to enjoy everything I do, leave my my mind and body to connect, and keep brain free of any other extra work.

This mind and body connection and gut connection really helps you get through many things in life. I am in contact with someone that is completely calm about her first baby, even though things are earlier and faster, she is feeling fine and trusting her body, the beginning stage of labor could take WEEKS.  I admire her so much for not calling her doctor, and reaching out for a Doula, plus the amazing birth classes she took at www.supportedbirth.com, have her calm and feeling confident.

What I also love is family connection, and unconditional love and 100% support.  I was so blessed to know that growing up, and although I feel drained as a parent, there is no other way I know how to operate.  My kids get all of me and that is it, to balance that I recharge with my work and pamper myself with massage and other pleasures, I love to be serviced.

This article really struck a chord, how in some cultures politeness, etiquette, and verbally thanking everyone and saying please are the norm, while in other cultures it is just understood.  In mother Russia, grandparents lived with their kids, you took care of them, and grandparents also helped take care of their children's babies.  I feel it is good to have a both, but knowing your family will always be there is amazing.

In India, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re violating your intimacy with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist. They may think that you’re closing off the possibility of relying on each other in the future.
