Positive Thought of the Day

Tonight I'm heading back to Zumba for the first time in almost 3 months. I ended up taking the summer off as it just never suited, and I also was a little bit lazy. 

But now that I'm about to head back I am reminded of something my instructor always says.
There are no mistakes. Only Solo Moves.
It's inspiring for not only my Zumba classes when I get all confused and step the wrong way and make the wrong moves.
But it's inspiration for everyday. We all mess up and make mistakes. But rather than being so hard and critical and negative on ourselves, maybe we should think of them as solo moves instead?

I think this is going to my mantra for the week. I may even print it off for my bedroom door!

  1. Getting back into exercise does feel good even if it's hard at first. Went to yoga last week for the first time since before the school holidays - my body needed it.

    1. I've really enjoyed it, because it's so much more fun than just going to the gym or a spin class!

  6. I hope you had a brilliant time at Zumba, sometimes taking a break is just the perfect thing to do! Loving the quote too, it's so true, only little steps can be mistakes, but not the whole 'thing'! x

  7. Sometimes in order to discover ourselves we must stop and pause and think about life.

  9. Doing things differently to others is sometimes a good thing, it's nice to be unique. I too need was a bit lazy over the summer. I'm surprised I didn't put a few stone on haha x
