Especially in times like this, we realize that we take things for granted and far too many people take their health for granted. People let their bodies deteriorate over time as if they have a lease on it like their car. "Oh well, we'll just get a new one in a few years". Ummm no, when this one is done, you are done. We wait until we have cancer, or diabetes, or on the verge of a heart attack before we get serious about taking care of ourselves. Why wait?
I have trained hundreds of people over the last 12 years, with many of those people being in the 60s, 70's, 80's and even 90's. Typically, clients that I have are often physically capable, but sometimes I have people that are fragile, have bionic bodies, or to what most would say, incapable. I have even witnessed a man who only had arms to his elbows and legs to his knees, still in the gym doing all that he could do to make his body strong. This is why I love the slogan "You only get one body, what will you do with yours?" Get the most out of your body, do not waste it.
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and God's Spirit dwells in your midst? 1 Corinthians 3:16
"It's east to take this body for granted. Just remember it has a limited number of uses - so make every day count, and don't miss your chance to give thanks to God for walking with you through this crazy life. Taking care of yourself puts you in a better positions to serve others who need your energy, strength, stamina, and sharp mind". Live Bold
What are a few things you can do to take are of your temple?
Get rest: We become vulnerable to poor decisions when we are tired.
Eat healthy: Feed the machine with what it needs to run at peak performance.
Exercise: Stay loose, keep your strength, do hard things. This prepares us for the hard work of helping our neighbor.
