It really seems hard to convert into real life. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon in 3 months, there are obviously other things you need to accomplish between now and then, how can you solely focus on the marathon goal?

Too much rush these days; take a few minutes out, think about what you are doing and optimize - destress - become more efficient. :D Put another way – everyone can benefit from injecting a bit of Zen into their lives!

A while back I had made it my goal to start working out and losing weight. I started small, and little by little, it started falling off. I kept telling myself, I'm NOT going to give up after a week. "If after a month, I don't see any improvement, I can give up." Well I didn't. Months and months went by, and I just kept renewing goals, and seeing unbelieveable results. In about 5 months, I lost 85lbs. I was so happy and proud, I felt like the poster child for a positive attitude. I fell in love with running, I started small and eventually got to running 6 miles a day!!! Suddenly, my hips and knees started to hurt, and I was told, maybe I should chill out. Just 20lbs from my goal. But, I decided the pain was too much, and slowed it down to 5 miles about 4 days a week. I wasn't losing any weight, but staying where I was, and I was content with that. Now here comes the events in the past six months. January, I lost my job and I felt guilty to be at the gym during the day not looking for another job, so, I stayed home more searching for a job. In Febuary, I tried to balance the two, job hunting and working out. It was going well until, I found out I was pregnant the end of Febuary, and ended up miscarrying in March. A few weeks after my miscarriage, I decided to again, pick myself up, look for a job, and workout. Then May 11th my father died unexpectantly. I've been trying so hard recently, to take my 62yr old fathers death as inspiration to better myself. But it is increasingly difficult to find a job, deal with the miscarriage, workout, and deal with the death of my father. I make it to the gym about 3 times a week, and a five mile run seems like torture. In this past 6 months, I've slowly gained 20lbs, and I can feel people looking at me as if I've fallen off my bandwagon. I'm hoping in some way, even getting all of this off my chest can help.
