Have you exercised today? Start small, go for a walk, but do it. The only bad workout is the one that does not happen.

Be present on whatever it is you are doing right now. Use your energy upon the work at hand, when you start doing this you will unleash a giant within. 👌👊

We are all in a mystical journey, we have different beliefs about it's meaning, but one thing is CERTAIN: The people who are supposed to be in your life will be, because they are. And the people who are not will NOT be, because they aren't. Just keep living, learning, and enjoying this beautiful moment in time and space. ❤️

This is a great question to start your year, because the way you see yourself is the way the world will see you 🧐
