We were talking in class the other day about our favorite sayings. Someone in the class mentioned a friend of hers who received a journal full of her grandmother’s words of wisdom on the eve of her wedding; we thought that was profoundly charming. Do you have any special sayings, quotes, or phrases that you can share with us? Sometimes our favorite sayings are representative of years of experience and wisdom. Other times, the words are humorous but true. How about we compile our own list of favorite sayings here; it can be the Heart and Soul Fitness collection of words to live by!

Our first post goes to Margie. Yesterday in class we were well into our cardio class and Margie suggested that “the best thing to do is marry a nerd”. She added that they grow older and more attractive, always have good jobs, and continue to improve after high school. Sounds like great advice to me–thanks Margie!!

“Open your heart, open your mind, look for the best and that’s what you’ll find.” This was the PRAYER i learned in nursery school that we said every morning…know they don’t teach prayer anymore– what a shame– great way to start any day!

I have a notebook filled with quotes and sayings that I’ve been inspired by over the years (and even use in my yoga classes sometimes)…. but this is one of my favorites, which I keep posted above my desk at work:
“Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript of a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself. Everything that you want– you are already that.” -Rumi
