Who are you anyway? Do you know? Do
you spend time analyzing yourself? It is important to do so. We
should know what we are about. We should know what we stand for.
Let’s talk about our physical selves
for a moment. Do you know your physical self? Do you know what you
should weigh? Are your muscles strong? Could you walk/run a mile?
How many protein calories do you need in a day? The answers to these
questions might benefit your life. The more you know about how your
body works the better you can care for it.
I know that I am different from one of
my best friends. She can eat a lot more than I can. If I ate what
she eats, I’d be overweight. I also know that my body looks pretty
much the same whether I run 5 miles a day or 3 miles two times a
week. I know that I need to weigh myself at least once a week or I
will gain 10 pounds and never notice. If I don't get at least 8 hours of sleep for more than a couple
nights in a row, I’ll be ill.
I have made it my job to learn about my
body. Having done this for many years, I have gotten good at it. I
feel great and I am pretty happy with my physical self at this
amazing age I have come to. However, it takes work. I don’t mind
the work because the benefits are awesome. If I didn’t take great
care of myself, my health and fitness would suffer and I don’t want
that.
How much work do you put into yourself?
Have you neglected the most important person in the world, lovely
you? If you don’t put yourself before anyone else, there will be
no you to care for anyone else. I WANT to care for myself.
Don’t you?
I know you do. So, start today. Do
the simple things. Make a list of some improvements you can implement that are free and easy. Like this:
Drink more water
Go for a walk/run
Go to bed a half hour earlier
Eat better
Rise earlier
Journal
Call a friend
Rest more if needed
Find ways to laugh
And then do them! ;0
Take good care today.
