Birthday Workout

Today is my 38th birthday.

Usually, I go to the gym before work but because it is my birthday I contemplated on whether to go or not. I thought to myself “it's my birthday – I could just rest”.

I sensed big laziness inside me that I previously was not aware of.

At the last minute, I changed my mind and decided to bite the bullet. Just go to the gym. Just do it. You will feel better after, I thought.

To my surprise, my gym friends were there. They invited me to join in and work out together. They taught me a technique I did not know. I was amazed at how just being grateful changed my whole morning.

Reflecting time

It is now the end of the day and I am reflecting on my birthdays throughout my life.

Where did this lazy birthday habit come from?

It must come from the way I lived my life

I was always served on my birthday. For example, my mum always made me a birthday cake and I received presents from family members. Even tonight she made me a chocolate cake even though she was short on time (seen below).

I received so much today:

• Beautiful blue sky day

• Grateful morning workout with good people

• Laughs with people at work

• A productive day

• Beautiful food with family

I don’t deserve it.

I am leaving the video below for people who wish to find a grateful mind.

Thank you for reading my birthday blog.
