The Simple Things!

It's funny how sometimes the simple things in life can make everything so much better. At times we become complaisant with day to day life and used to how our typical days unfold. For the last four and a half years I've been blessed with the ability to create a comfortable exercise environment that people really seem to enjoy. I try to do my best with the details of the studio, things like mirrors that lite up for makeup application, using cleaning products that are non toxic, bringing in stainless water bottles so to do away with all the plastic bottles we tend to go through and having mints at the front for after you workout is over.
All of these details I take a great deal of pride in and I'm always trying to find new detail items that will enhance the experience at The BAR.
Here is the funny part, with all the details and additions that we constantly work on, the best detail we've done in the past six months was to just change out the old sweat towels and add some plush new ones.
Apparently, the old towels were getting so rough that someone mentioned that they were bummed to see the exfoliating towels go away.
I guess with all the detail items that I worry about I forgot to look at the basic ones. I can promise you that we will change the towels a little more regularly now that I see the difference it has made with the experience that our clients have at the BAR.
All to often we tend to look past the simple things in day to day life. Yesterday, at home I took a moment to do something simple; push my two little girls on their swing set that "Grandma Texas" got for them. It took little effort from me but I got so much joy watching my girls go back and forth with huge smiles on their faces. Simple, yet effective and rewarding!
Here is my challenge for you, find something today that's simple, effective and self rewarding. I'd bet it's closer than you think and will undoubtable put a smile on your face as well as the people around you!
