It seems that people are realizing more and more how important it is to be physically fit; to have more healthy clean and whole foods, and to exercise. This is super good, and hopefully will make a huge difference for our children who are said to be the first generation to die before
their parents.
I would like to take a different focus on being fit. it's not just physical! It is important to remember that health and fitness is not just about how our body looks. It's about our thought process, our perspective, our relationship with God and fellow man. It's about how we see ourselves and treat ourselves and how we allow others to do the same. The neat thing is, they all work together! You start becoming healthy in one area, it will bring health to other areas in your life.
We are in a physical experience so we often see things physically before we recognize them mentally or spiritually.
Did you know though, that EVERYTHING we experience physically is first created mentally, emotionally and spiritually?
If we have fit minds, emotions and spirituality, the easier it is to have the body we all know we dream about.
Think about it - emotional eating anyone? Usually people think that they just have to power through not eating the chocolate when they are feeling down in the dumps. What if you didn't have to force yourself not to eat the chocolate because you had been mentally "working out" and didn't let that other person's rude comment effect the rest of your day?
And what about your relationship with your spouse, kids and even parents? What the scale says isn't going to make them like you more. How you treat and see yourself, and the world, is what makes people like you. Because when you treat and see yourself as good, you see that in other people too.
So, when you are focused on getting your 30 minute workout in and eating the right amount of calories, make sure you spend the same amount of time each day strengthening your mental, emotional and spiritual muscles too!
