ARE YOU SHOWING UP?

Mark Twain said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

Writing this article for the Global Achievers Magazine’s July 2020 issue, I am currently in my home office and filming studio located in the Southern California area. Yes, like others, I have been here every day for months. We have had “stay at home” orders throughout the world due to the declared worldwide pandemic known as the Novel Coronavirus Disease; COVID-19 since the spring of 2020.

We all know that the world is changing or has indeed already changed. The unknown of what tomorrow is going to bring is a concern for many internationally. Will our lives ever look like they did before? How are we going to get back into the swing of things? What is next?

All great questions, however, we are not going to explore those answers in this article. There is another question I’d like to ask, “How are you showing up to your life today?”

A few weeks ago, I woke up ready to show up! Ready to re-engage in an area I have been ignoring – my self-care and exercising. With my favorite workout hat on, completely not caring what anyone would think, I got my phone, turned it on, and pushed the button: I was Live walking and talking.
