Parkies of world compete!

Back on January 14 th of 2023 I posted the first of my videos and messages.

I was hoping to post one a day for a month.

Well the month is up and I want to thank you for letting me be a part of your day during that time.

I hope you learned something about your Parkinson’s because I sure learned a lot about mine.

One thing that I hadn’t thought of before, but made a big impact was how I viewed Parkinson’s.

I never thought of it as a competitor .

It’s me against it!

The prize is..,..,.ME

This means my exercise is more than exercise,

It’s my game plan.

It must have an offensive and defensive strategy to it.

I’m no longer exercising, I am using the 4 P’s and

PRACTICING!!!!

I want to look at myself in the mirror and say to my reflection,

“ Put me in Coach, I’m ready to play, today!”

I must trust myself!

You must trust yourself!

For as hard as it may seem, we are still in charge of our lives.

Parkinson’s or no Parkinson’s.

It was my hope to demonstrate that with a positive mind and a positive heart we can put up a good fight against Parkinson’s.

That we aren’t alone in this struggle.

All we have to do is ASK for help.

Keep your fight in the NOW.

Remember tomorrow,

today

will be

yesterday!

To stay in the fight requires our best.

Not our best ever, just the best we have right now!

Every day has something good in it.

Use that good to inspire you in to singing a song that puts positivity in your self talk and a spring in your step.

And if that spring in your step happens to cause you to stumble and fall.

Well don’t fixate on how hard you fell….

but instead be impressed by how far and high you bounced!

Keep on bouncing

Ian

Have fun and be a warrior
