Rock the Runway in Real Life
Raise your hand if you like dressing in head to toe plaid or a giant latex, leopard, onesie. **Crickets** That’s what I thought.

![Working out is not a chore, it’s a privilege. I read something recently that stuck with me — it was about how we have a responsibility to take ownership over our bodies and our mentality around it. I think when we can truly grasp just how amazing it is that we have bodies that are able to move, we can approach working out with gratitude. I keep thinking about my dad and his bike accident last summer - he could have easily ended up paralyzed [it’s still such a miracle he didn’t] not able to ever move again. When you put that thought into perspective, it does things to you inside. What if you couldn’t move tomorrow? Go do something good for your body today, not because you should but because you can 💪🏻 #liygratitudeseries](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/d502abc8d832c4191045dd278d7c3cec/5DDDFFEB/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/67527387_2393675424239714_2508556016393568289_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "Working out is not a chore, it’s a privilege.

![Caught in the act 🧘♀️ I recently [as in this week recently] started practicing meditation and those 10-20 minutes are some of my favorite from the day. Last night I was laying in bed and it hit me mid-thought, just how out of touch with gratitude I’ve been. My mind has been in an exhausting state of “everything needs fixed, nothing is right, I need to improve this, that and the other” while 100% dismissing all of the amazing that surrounds me. In 2010 I wrote in a gratitude journal daily and I remember feeling so alive, joyful and ready for life’s opportunities. It was as soon as I was done with my 365 day journal that I decided to start living in yellow, a place to document my days and all that makes me happy. I miss those days of gratitude and I’m on a quest to get back to that place. My goal is to share here daily something I’m grateful for in hopes of shifting my mindset, looking for the good and hopefully inspiring some of you that may be in a similar mental rut to do the same. So here’s to day one - I’m grateful for quiet moments and an open mind. What are you grateful for today? #LIYgratitudeseries](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/46cd2ee43d6bfd76d9d15d919f9dff7e/5DD4105D/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/67614090_2358194307640487_4250787473210887536_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "Caught in the act 🧘♀️ I recently [as in this week recently] started practicing meditation and those 10-20 minutes are some of my favorite from the day.
