Going to the "Next Level" and not...

Taking a step?

That would be pretty nice, but regretfully, moving forward or to the
"Next Level" takes a bit of effort...and definitely includes taking a
step or steps.

So understanding that every move forward, or up, needs to include a
step or steps, is the first "step" in getting there.

But occasionally we have a plan or intentions to get somewhere, while
we stay motionless, and that's OK if we need to take a breather, but we
need to get back to "stepping" as soon as we are refreshed.

Because we can't get somewhere when we don't move.

Fast food...

For every meal?

Probably not the best idea, as there is not a lot of good stuff to keep
us healthy and strong, but sometimes it tastes great and really hits
the spot.

We give our bodies all sorts of resistance to stay fit, why not
occasionally give our bodies what we are hankering for and do the same
thing?

We may lift weights or exercise, which gets the blood flowing,
exercising our muscles, expanding our blood vessels and putting our
joints through increased range of motion.

So eating fast food once in a while, gets
the gall bladder and the pancreas to increase their output as well as
the making rest of our internal organs shift into high gear...we just
don't want to keep them
working at an increased level...but from time to time, we may just need
to exercise our insides...just to make sure.

Hopefully, only occasionally...

We look in the mirror, or at or lives and we are sufficiently horrified.

It's OK...it happens...it's only the results of what we have let slip.

And it's really great inspiration and motivation to take what we have
let slip, turn it into an opportunity, and bring it back...even higher
than before.

Does it hurt?

If it does - it usually means one of two things:

1. We are either doing something that is not right for our body.

2. Or we are pushing our body past it's previous "Limit".

That's the fuzzy part. When we are doing something not right for our body,
our innate alarm system rings the bell, and says we have gone too far
and damage has either occurred or will occur, if kept up.

But when we are pushing ourselves past our comfort zone in the attempt
to do what we haven't done, or taking it to the "Next level" the same
alarm bell rings.

So we just need to be mindful of what is causing the bell to ring, or
we can cause damage...or sink back into our comfort zone - both
resulting in what we don't want.
