GRATITUDE IS ATTITUDE
We celebrate Thanksgiving during the month of November. So, now is a good time to reflect and give thanks for the positive things happening in our lives. But how do we do that on a daily basis? Being grateful or showing gratitude is really about maintaining a different attitude.
“Gratitude is Attitude" means that expressing thankfulness is more than a fleeting emotion. Gratitude becomes a conscious choice to focus on the positive aspects of life by cultivating an appreciation for both big and small things. Eventually, gratitude becomes a habitual perspective you maintain in your daily life.
WHAT IS EXERCISE?
Physical Activity is not exercise, but exercise is physical activity. It is a narrower scope focused on a more regimented and planned routine of physical activity. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to read my previous blog on physical activity and what defines it. I consider exercise to be a step up from being physically active when it comes to working towards more concrete or specific goals.
WHAT IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY?
Being active does not have to be exercise. It does not have to look like a strict routine and does not require lifting “scary weights.” To be physically active, all you have to do is move. Any type of movement beyond rolling over in bed is adequate. Getting out of bed to start your day is being active. Bending over to tie your shoe? Also considered a form of being active.
