One of the things that I started doing every day that is absolutely changing my life is listening to personal development on my way to work in the morning and on my way home. I listen to lots of different things but most often it's Chalene Johnson podcasts or the Joel Osteen Ministries XM radio station. The other day I was listening to Joel and he was talking about stress and not letting the storm get in you. It was very powerful to me the image he created. You can have a whirlwind of lots of things going on around you, and yes it can be overwhelming or stressful and tense but you can still be the peace and be the calm in the middle of it. It's like a tornado. It's swirls and swirls and causes massive destruction outside of it, around it, anything in its path. But on the inside, in the very middle of the hurricane is the eye of the hurricane right? In the middle it is so calm and peaceful and there's no destruction. Things may be swirling around in there but it's not chaotic, it's not destructive, you are going with the flow. That's what it should feel like on the inside of you. On the inside of me. Life can be swirling around us, but if we're centered, if we're at peace and we know that whatever life throws at us we'll be okay, we can handle it and we're not given more than we can handle that is true faith. Often we need to go through something in order to handle something else that is coming our way that we don't know about yet. It often makes us stronger and wiser. It's created a change within us that, had we not gone through it, we wouldn't be where we needed to be today to accept the blessings and opportunities we have been given. Just wanted to share with you too. It's been on my mind so I thought I'd put it out there just in case it's what someone else needed to hear today too. #ahappyfitlife via Instagram: @chrissymartinez
