Chagne One Thing... Are they Nuts?

I remember a long time ago I read something that said make one change and other changes will start to follow. At the time I thought, one thing? But there's so much I want to sift through and work on! :) They're NUTS! LOL :)

Well... I'll use working out as the example for the one thing. I started working out about 3 years ago, kept not finding what worked for me until I bought an elliptical machine and that was great! Then at the end of last year I bought a new program because what I was doing wasn't giving me the results I wanted. I upped my workouts from 30 minutes to an hour. I've seen better results, more results and that's just awesome! I have a vertigo issue in my head where if I get too over heated I get nauseaus and dizzy so I was really afraid to get these dvd's because they'd bring my body temperature to that point. That hasn't gone away, however I know what to do, to work around it.

In the meantime, other things began to follow. Since I was down doing pushups and on the floor for some of the workouts, I felt like ... euw, when is the last time I cleaned these carpets? So, I bought a steam cleaner. Who would want their face by a dirty carpet?

Cleaning the carpets, in all it's methodical, slow motion movement, is very soothing to me and when I'm done doing it. Not only do I feel more comfortable being on the rug but the house smells better, I feel like everything is cleaner and the machine really paid for itself after 3 uses vs. spending 50.00 for a rental and having to run myself into the ground in 24 hours or be charged more by the rental place, so this affected my budget in a good way too. Right? Sure it did...

I have two adorable boy cats who I love SOOOO Much but they shed, I'm allergic to cats (so they say) and now because i got the steam cleaner my allergies are better too.

When I workout, there are a few of the DVD's that make me feel so "high" from the adrenaline and movement that I'm in the ultimate good mood from it! Very happy and I feel amazing! I definitely have more energy and not only that but looking better physically has affected my overall posture and how I feel about myself.

Granted I started working out three years ago however the change started with my doing one thing different. I was getting tired of hearing myself whine about how what I was doing wasn't bringing me to where I wanted to be physically, to buying a new program, to the other changes I'm referencing above.

I've also had to get up earlier and make more time to work out too, so it's changed my schedule and actually given me more "me" time too... A few years ago if you told me that I would get up at 5:00 or 5:30 so I could exercise I would've said, "Don't I do enough in a day already?" ...

Are you seeing how if you make a change in one area, other things start to fall into place? Try it, you have nothing at all to lose.
