Hello Balanced Life Family,
How’s your attitude towards keeping physically fit? Some of us are determined to keep our bodies fit. Some of us could use a little more encouragement. Keeping physically fit is so important, not just for appearance sake, but being fit enhances every area of your life.
When you’re physically fit, you’re more confident. You make better decisions. You sleep better. You develop a positive mental attitude. Your spiritual life is even enhanced by being physically fit.
To develop a better attitude the first thing to remember is not to try to change everything overnight. Set micro-goals for yourself. Too much, too fast equals burn out! Choose goals that you can live with and add a little at a time.
Don’t exercise and eat nutritious meals merely to lose weight. There are many other benefits to think about. Exercise combats so many health conditions. It improves your mood and it will boost your energy level. Exercise promotes better sleep. Also, it can be fun if you add some of your favorite music. And yes, you can lose weight and improve your appearance, but that’s just icing on the cake.
Never compare your plan or yourself with someone else because everybody is different. What’s good for one person isn’t for another. Find a health plan to fitness that suits you. Work with the body God has given you and ask God for help. God is an all-purpose God. Yes, he will help you stick to a healthy fitness plan. That’s maintaining the temple and for Christians that’s the place where God dwells.
To those of you who haven’t committed to a better attitude towards physical fitness, I’m hoping this short blog will trigger something within you to do so.
When we’re young we get away with a lot of bad health choices and often times they don’t even show up. But if we keep living, (and I think that’s what we all want to do) they catch up with us. Poor health and senior living don’t have to go together. If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you today, to make a change for the better in your attitude towards fitness.
