5/23 Whole Life Wednesday

Mercedes and her daughter, Ava, join Katie D. in the 6am class for the WLC workout. We are retesting our WLC in all of our classes today.
We are in the final stretch our our Spring Whole Life Challenge. It ends on Friday, just in time for us all to enjoy Memorial Day parties and BBQ. I hope you'll join us on Memorial Day Monday at 10:30 for our Murph challenge and BBQ potluck. Everyone is welcome! This is a free class for your guests. We will provide protein and drinks, please bring a side dish to share. 
Our final WLC Weekly Well Being Lifestyle Practice is to put something in your "Jar of Awesome." The instructions are simple: 

1. Create a “Jar of Awesome,” either physical or virtual — a mason jar or something like it would be perfect, but so would a note in Evernote, a note pad, or an email to yourself. You can leave your jar plain or decorate it like crazy. It may also help to keep a small scratch pad and pen next to it.
2. Each day, write something down that you think is awesome — about your day, your life, or the world in general — and put it into the jar or on the virtual list
3. The minimum is one item each day, but you can add as much awesomeness to the jar as you like.

The WLC thinks this is an important lifestyle practice because:

"The world is pretty awesome, and sometimes that is easy to forget. There is awesomeness right under our noses — in nature, in the things people do for each other, and in the things we accomplish against the odds. But awesomeness is a funny thing. It doesn’t demand to be noticed, at least not the way crappiness does.

With the amount of not-awesome things we get told about every day, we often miss the flowers growing between the cracks in the pavement, the stranger who stops to help someone who dropped a bag of groceries, the dinner on the table when we get home. There is a good in the world that continues to survive no matter what happens, and it thrives on being celebrated.

With a smile, a wink, or a nod, awesomeness can be fed. It’s like stoking a fire that burns inside. And the more you feed it, the bigger it becomes. And the bigger it becomes, the more people who are warmed by it. By insisting on noticing, you can become the keeper of the awesomeness flame for your corner of the world.
​
And if there’s something the world needs, it’s more awesomeness keepers."
