Physical activity can have an impact on your mind, body, and
spirit. We've all heard of the many benefits of exercise.
Many people find that the most difficult part of becoming
physically fit, is in making the actual decision to get physically
fit. Only you can make the decision to actually change. Only
you can choose what motivates you towards fitness. Once
you've made the decision, you can take tiny steps towards
fitness. Drastic changes are not needed. Small steps in
your daily routine can make a big difference.
Once
the decision is made to work towards physical fitness, the questions
are how, what, where and when? You do not need to get out of
bed an hour early. All you really need to do is begin to make small
steps towards your goal. For instance, if you decide you
are going to start walking, instead of getting up an hour early and
walking before work, start with smaller steps. Park your car
further away from your destination. There are numerous resources
that can help you with deciding how, what, where and when to exercise.
The key factor is making the decision to begin living healthier.
Physical
fitness is not just excerise, it also includes what your eat.
Food is your energy. There are numerous resources on nutrition.
There is no diet that fits everyone. We need to know our own
body. Some foods taste really good and we are happy to eat and
enjoy them, but how do we feel afterwards? Are there any consequences?
Are the consquences insignficant? Are they signficant? If they
are signficicant, in what way? Is it an occasional indulgence,
or more of a habit? Are you aware of what you are eating, or
do you just eat to fill the empty spot? .
Remember - Little changes you make put
you closer to your goal of being healthier!
~ Park
your car further away from the store or office
~ Take your pet
for a walk, your pet will love it!
