Okay, corny revelation as I was exercising this afternoon. I remembered last Tuesday how discouraged and angry I was that my ear disease had spread to my good ear. There was a deep sense that I could no longer trust my body to give me the stamina I wanted. I'm not complaining, I have plenty of energy, just wanting even more so I knew I could work a job or add other things to my life and not get sick. Today as I was exercising I realized, here I am not being able to trust my body, yet my body does not trust ME because I have not always made choices that honor my body (junk food, no exercising). I'm not condemning these things, just learning to listen to my body. I'm realizing that perhaps until my body can trust me to make the choices IT needs, it may be unfair to expect my body to give me the stamina I want.
So, today I have exercised for 20 minutes, took my vitamins and herbs, used my skin care products, and pretty much stayed away away from sugar. I am trying to give myself all of 2010 to not make any major life changes and just focus on taking responsibility for my health. On this journey, I know that I am missing out on the cognitive and emotional benefits of working outside of the home. As much as that is a need, I am trying to commit it to prayer to not make that change until I hear from God that it is a good change to make, (another way of honoring my body, even though, I want to make major changes NOW).
Still on my docket for today: my prayer and reading time, and reading to and playing with the kids.
So, share with me:
What is one way you are committing to honoring your body?
What is one thing you have accomplished today that you are proud of?
What is one life goal that you are working on?
