a story for tomorrow.

Happy 2013 to you all! I am particularly sad to see 2012 go because it was my favorite year of my life thus far. I graduated college, found my soulmate, and traveled around the country. I hope 2013 brings me the same joy that continues to surround my life. As always there are things to be worked on and make resolutions to do. I resolute to keep calm, do the right thing, keep my heart and mind always open, work to my full potential, sustain balance, and keep my thoughts constructive. I believe working on your mental strength and building your brain muscles is just as important as lifting weights. Keep 2013 clean from negativity my friends and remember to always remainactive.

When you want to go on a vacation with friends, family, or the one you love, it's easy to get caught up in eating out and relaxing. When my boyfriend and I travel we add activities to our days to ensure our healthy lifestyle never stops. This New Year's Eve (also his birthday) we decided to stay in Lincoln, NH and snowboard at Loon Mountain. It was a beautiful, invigorating, and uplifting way to start our new year. Peace and joy to you all.

All types of sports help you with mental and physical health. Take table tennis for instance, this sport helps unbelievably with hand eye coordination. While I am not an avid table tennis player, I play lacrosse which has helped me immensely with my hand eye coordination.

When you feel like you are tired and can't go to the gym, walk, ride your bike, jog, or walk your dog to the see the sunrise or the sunset. It gives you cardio exercise as well as peace of mind with its beauty.

While getting physical exercise like hiking, it's also important to find peace and value in the scenery that you have prospered from. 

Tip #1: It's holiday season which involves family, fun, and FOOD. Don't listen to the people who say that the holiday season is to indulge and figure out the resolution of losing weight for the new year. This is the time you need to be strong. This is not to say that you cannot say yes, please, enjoy yourself. Its about BALANCE and SELF CONTROL. Think and believe in your state of mind that you are capable of those two words. Maybe even repeat them to yourself to understand their power.
