Margaritas and Affirmations

Affirmation Card: Move your Body Every day!

You could walk.
You could hike.
You could lift weights.
You could do yoga.
JUST MOVE!

You know that one friend that you can call and she is there in a heartbeat? Well that is my friend Beth.

She is the friend that brings your family dinner after surgery, the friend that shows up at a craft fair to purchase a 2nd deck so you made a sale and the friend that comes over to help you put 24,000 cards together while sipping margaritas. The famous Beth line is. “You need to move your body every day.” We have had some very personal talks on our walks and runs about mental health. I remember the day I shared my story with Beth. I was a little scared because I was embarrassed but I decided to let my guard down.  Beth and I had many things in common but we both agreed that moving your body everyday lifted your spirits. It really didn’t matter what you did but sitting around doing nothing leads to boredom and trouble. I started using her line all the time. I would get the eye rolls and the comments “Here we go again, the famous Beth line” from our children but I believed it so much. I really make an effort to move my body every day. Moving your body can also mean moving your mind. Sometimes, I am too tired to go for a walk, or practice yoga but I still move my mind by meditating or listening to calming music. 

Two margs later and moving our bodies, we had an additional 15 decks made. 

Thank you Beth
