MOVE WITH INTENTION: Walk with Me

With me this morning this Friday. Friday. So all right it's nice and clear today. Um it just stopped raining and my dog is trying to chase the big birds. Say hi Cooper. He's busy. All right. Hope everybody's excited about this Friday. Being in motion. The animals seem to be a lot today. Early this morning. But anyway. All right. Had your glass of water. Eight ounces. Ready to get moving. Let's go. Got your walking sneakers on. Let it go. No I didn't. I didn't break it. I dropped it. Didn't have it securely in. Anyway. That's what happens when you do things like this. Anyway. All right. So we're on our way. I think we're gonna take a new loop today. All right. So yeah. The birds and everything are in the stir today. Look there. You see those beautiful birds. They're all in the stir. They've been moving around a lot today. Something must be going on. All right. Okay. Let's get walking. Let's move it. Something must be going on. All right. Okay. Let's get walking. Let's move it. Let's go. Let's move with intention. That's what we're talking about today. Intention. Intention. Everything's intention today. Go. Let's move with intention. That's what we're talking about today. Intention. Intention. Everything's intention today. Right. I think these birds are amazing and I want you to take a take a look at them. They look so very scary but they're amazing looking and they're always around in a group. Let's get to walking. Cooper and I, we're ready to walk. We're ready to walk. All right. So walking with intention today. Already starting. Holding your stomach in. Remember that. Remember that. And working that core. Making it feel tighter. All right. So but anyway, let's get to thinking and talking about intention. One of the biggest things you can ever do for yourself is be intentional. Be intentional. Health is so very important and I think we take it for granted and we believe you know those things like people say oh you're gonna you're gonna age and you're gonna you know your skin's gonna sag and say oh you're gonna you're gonna age and you're gonna you know your skin's gonna that people have said to to us even about the way we eat um but we gain weight those things but what I've learned is most of the time people live by intention when they're in their best lives they live intentionally it's sort of like putting away money for their best vacation so even if it's let's say if it's I don't know 500 dollars no 300 dollars maybe they're putting away extra 27 a month so that they can go on a big vacation you know so live that's that's living intentionally when you see someone enjoying life you know we may get mad and say oh well they don't they don't deserve this or how can they get this and how can they have that well they have it because they live intentionally intentionally putting things aside intentionally making sure things are good for them so they can live their best life so we can't get mad at what they're doing that's good for them or that it's intentional and they're able to have those things because they put away for it you know they put away for it so yeah so we can't get upset so let's talk about intention in our own lives we've seen it from the outside and now let's see it from the inside let's intentionally do things for our lives take for instance our health and we talked about a little bit about that yesterday how things that we shouldn't be doing or indulging in we do and i'm not talking about the proverbial things that everybody talks about smoking drinking and drugs i'm going to talk about that um those come from you know other things that we're not going to talk about today so those are however i'm talking about food talk about gossiping i'm talking about consuming too much media talking about well before that too much tv you know too much of work when i mean by work i mean you know finding other things to do besides take care of yourself running around because you think that's gonna make something for you all of that great stuff you know that we're not doing for ourselves so talking about that stuff that we kind of get involved in did anybody remember these what these trees are i know i'm not close enough but i love these trees if anybody knows what these trees are please let me know i don't know kind of cool they're kind of cool so my dog is peeing on it it's gross anyway um yeah so intentionally living with our health and it doesn't take a lot of work it takes one small step and if you start off maybe even walking like you're doing today one day a week it's better than no day a week it improves your health that much more it actually gives you clarity of mind to be honest with you because a place in nature is always good getting to know nature you don't have to hug trees like i do but getting to know nature or being in the nature really can help clear your mind so yeah living in intention intentionally doing things small steps you know help with a lot of things changing your diet and i don't want to say diet changing your eating habits along along as a traveler and a traveler who has sensitive sensitivities all over the place i know that i learned early that american food is not good for you you know it's packed with a lot of greed meaning things that keep shelf life and keeps money in the pockets of the producers and when i go to other countries i'm maybe able to eat certain things that i can't eat here but it's an intentional job for me or a duty for my life to be vigilant and make sure that i am not consuming those things and sometimes i want to because i haven't had it in a while like yesterday what i did was i wanted some cookies and i you know the first time i've ever baked from scratch some cookies gluten-free with semi something semi sweet chocolate right okay so first time i ever made them by myself without buying them in the pack and boy oh boy they were crumbly but they were good and so i was like this is the price i have for having these sensitivities but it was number one it was fun and number two um i learned something you know it didn't taste the best but i was able to try next time i'll try something a little bit different so i still ate it i still ate the cookie so that was fine however i learned in all of that sometimes we don't even need some of the things we think we need we don't even need them so i ate um i had a banana instead and that filled the gap filled the gap it was really great so um yeah you have to i'm i'm holding my stomach and i'm trying to speak at the same time so bear with me all right so we're going down a new route today i think we've been down a lot of the streets already i hope that you guys are walking and you're up moving if you're walking around your kitchen table 100 times let's go move that body at least 20 minutes at least no more than that no less than that i'm sorry not no more no less than that 20 minutes 20 minutes we're gonna do this i usually do 45 but you should be minimum 20 minutes hop over hop over hop hop hop good boy 20 minutes all right hope you had your glass of water this morning let's go let's get moving all right 20 minutes a minimum of 20 minutes let's go we'll gain some clarity some insight you get a clear mind if you do that absolutely if you are walking on your treadmill you want to give up you want to give in because it's a little grayish today probably friday i'm gonna rush through things don't rush that's another intention so this is what i found out about myself for the day i would get up and i would rush through everything so i'd rush to wash my face rush to get dressed rush to wash the dishes then i found myself multitasking if i would go in the kitchen for something in dirty dishes or there's a pot that had to be removed i would do all of that so i was like that's brushing why am i rushing who's coming over what's happening and i had to sit down and ask myself what is all this rushing about so i sat down and i was asked myself that question wrote it out i said what is all this rushing about where am i rushing to where am i going and that's intentional inner work it's intentional intentional that you learn about yourself and find out what's the goings on with you why do you do what you do because people can't tell you that you can ask people questions how do i present how do i look to you you know how do i behave you can ask your friends that and your family but the one thing you can't ask them is why do i do what i do and that's the time you need to sit down sit on down somewhere and figure it out and you know what it doesn't take that long to intentionally find out something about yourself to intentionally do the work it doesn't take that long it literally will give you the answer your spirit will give you the answer before long you have all the tools within you all you have to do is intentionally learn to use them and if you don't know how to use them or you don't even know that they're there that's when a coach comes in to help you do that right helps you see those things that you because they can look outside and all they have to do is boom one one time tell you that's how to do it and if you're willing to realize that you can do the work you can do the work but all that is intentional that you will be willing to do the work you not nobody else you okay so here get back to my story after sitting meditating for a bit about 30 minutes or so early morning i realized that being in one place as a survivor i was living in in survival mode because being in one place too long would give my perpetrator time to find me so i learned to hurry up and do everything and i carried that everywhere so i carried that even up into my adulthood not realizing what i was doing so i carried that in my own life pretty cool right i know so as i'm doing all of that as i'm working on myself i realized that i really realized that i was rushing so so taking time was unsafe remember when you are doing anything you're doing your inner work it's all about time and safety so a lot of what you go through the down deep down reasons why it's time and safety so my my problem was rushing through things and my main issue was i wasn't safe taking my time so i thought that was pretty cool so as we're walking today think about that like what what am i being busy about what am i um overdoing overworking overpowering what am i doing good morning good morning what am i doing that um i am putting too much emphasis and too much focusing on what am i doing what am i doing and making that worse for myself you know um and putting super pressure on myself what am i doing huh you know so that's what you have to think about today i'm actually walking in my schools and stuff but anyway so what am i doing that's making this hard for me this journey hard for me you know why am i looking to argue or being um very defensive all the time everything is the fence why am i doing that hmm you know we don't ask ourselves that we always we always equate it to something that's happening exterior versus something that's happening interior okay how we doing over here how's it walking how's it walking how are you doing and feeling make sure that you are breathing through your nose make sure you're holding that core tight keep it moving tight tight tight okay so that you are taking some of the stress off your body yeah that's the best thing is take some of that stress off your body all right we're getting close to the time thank you all for joining me Stacy thank you for coming on Angie same thing thank you for joining me i hope you're walking hope you're moving whether you're walking around your kitchen table or you are walking in your treadmill or outside even walking your dog like i do make it intentional make it intentional make it intentional all of it should be intentional okay so make it intentional all righty come on poop we're coming into the stretch here everyone that's walking what are you doing hope you're walking i hear those i am's i am's all right stay with me a little bit longer so i told you the story yesterday of you know my surgeries that i had when i had the car accident how i intended or intentionally set myself up to be able to walk way before they said i was going to be able to right and so i set myself set a small step so i said okay i would go down at least four steps and come back up four and so i set that intention to do that because i had steps in my house so i had to scoot down and i had to get 12 12 steps and then there's another 12 so 24 together so it took me but if i planned on three or four steps and then go back up i would have eight and i did this each day until i had enough strength to go to the front porch and the front porch back in so it's always you know in and out in and out right and so finally i was able to walk to the stop sign and walk back back home and i intentionally did that to strengthen myself because i didn't realize you know i was thinking big steps right i think you know just like i'll just get up and go and start but in realization it was one tiny small step a day and that's what helped me each day is one small step and so intentional living is intentionally being healthy for yourself and like you're doing today and like i'm doing your friends may not want to go walking or may not be able to walk with you or may not be able to have like a group of people intentionally set yourself up so that you're doing it for you and your health matters 100 your health matters intentionally read a book for you know if you want to expand your your your knowledge extension intentionally read a book whether it's one to two pages it doesn't matter whatever you can do and let me just say this someone years ago told me i was interested in being a vegan right and he told me and he's young young kid well younger than i but he's he anyway he said to me listen i can give you all the diet plans you want or all the this is what you should try but he said i want you to do one thing and i said okay listen and obey your body intentionally listen and obey your body that's all he said i said okay so two three weeks went pot by and he's giving me different replacement items for and i and i wasn't getting it i was like oh no this is gross and so um he says okay what are you craving for so i told him he said okay that's protein and so he said now you may not your body my body may not add to that but yours is so now you have to obey that and so he started giving me suggestions for replacements and it was just that simple i had not listened to my body i had you just dismissed like it was protein i just dismissed the fact that i was looking for protein or and eating that and i um it was just simple like it was just he just looked in and said okay this is what your body's needing you're like wow because i all i told him is i liked this or that and it was just simple it was just that simple so i was able to adjust my lifestyle of eating to that so it was great so and i still you know a lot of what i'm doing now it's from six seven years ago and i've been off sugar for oh i don't know how about two since 2013 and it's been really amazing because i could just clarity is amazing so it's great and now i told you guys yesterday my jasmine rice has gone it's over so i'm so very upset but i know i'm not going if you guys suggest whatever that other stuff is i don't like i don't like the consistency so thank you so much for that all right we are getting close to the end getting close to the end of the walk if there's any other ways that you live intentionally please put them in the comments um so that we all can know how to live intentionally if there's anything that i didn't talk about that's intentional that you do that you could suggest please share it with the rest of us the rest of the world put it in the comments box okay i think we're going to start to cool down a little bit so um hey ali ala how you doing hey sugar plum how you doing all right so slow down our pace a little bit all right to cool down a little bit and cooper wants to walk faster because he's trying to walk faster he's like yeah i'm out of here just slow your pace down a little bit still um strengthen your core muscles and tighten in there so make sure you're holding them tight as you're walking slower it's almost over it's almost over and then you get to be celebratory it's almost over it's almost over and then you get to be celebratory i told you i was um a tree hugger oh yeah i did i did some tree hugger i i touched trees all day and then almost to the home stretch the home stretch holding those muscles in the core section don't let them drop along control them so you can strengthen that core because that core helps everything how's everybody doing i know you can't answer me because you're probably walking too how's everybody doing moving around if you're walking around your kitchen table if you are walking on the treadmill if you are walking outside that's beautiful thanks for joining me we are intentionally walking today for exercise for i guess clarity because every time i'm in nature i gain some clarity of some type and even i get just a tad bit smarter or i realize some things just a tad bit more i tell you these past two years i have learned so much about my body and my health i'm walking that i'm so appreciative and i'm never going to give that learning up because we use it as a lesson you know i see lots of people and even some of my clients complain about their conditions that they've kind of like kind of created and so i definitely appreciate my life i definitely do i appreciate my life and if i can walk and end some pain in my life i'll do that we have to be intentional about living better you know feeling better we have to be intentional sometimes we're not sometimes we are not intentional about that we are kind of lazy in accepting well that's the way it's going to be and that's the way it'll stay so i can't do nothing about it because i don't want to do the work you know and then i hear people say they don't want to have a surgery that you know most people have and they are able to be mobile and i don't want to have that surgery but yet you're in pain every day you can't move and you're on medication that's probably doing you more damage than anything and i think that's unfortunate it's unfortunate you know you have to learn to live intentionally intentionally care about ourselves and how we take care of ourselves and be open to that you know even taking care of our teeth our nails and things that are part of us you know we're winding down that's why i didn't play but let's just say even getting our nails done you know chemicals what are you putting into our bodies what are we doing you know what are we how are we breaking ourselves down on the long run i used to get my nails done and when i saw that when i couldn't take off the the acrylic because my nails would be super soft i was like wait what i can't do what and i smelled the chemical and it was making me so sick when i used to go in but i ignored it because i wanted to be fashionable like everybody else and i said so i said take this off and so the last time i told him to take it off is when i noticed that my the ridges in my nails and it took me nearly five years five years to get a flat nail bed and i was and that's when i knew those type of things are addictions because we're putting it on our bodies chemically we're putting all of that on our body so we have to be so intentional about our lives just intentional well we are close stop thank you all for walking with me today of course we do this monday through friday saturday and sunday's fun time the families have fun in family time so we're walking and cooling down and getting to the end of our walk if you know of any intentional intentional things that we should be doing in
