Keeping your body fit is a lifetime commitment and a year-round activity. But it doesn’t get as much attention as it does during the summer months, when our bodies are displayed in full glory – showing how much we have cared for, or neglected, the daily essentials to keep fit and healthy.
Let’s start with your head. A sound mind is the first step to a healthy body, and this is the one part we most often neglect. Think positive and surround yourself with people and things that reinforce your strengths and correct your weaknesses.
Next, have a happy heart. We don’t just mean the one beating and keeping you alive, although this is important too. Find inspiration in simple things to keep you going – when you are inspired, you will perspire for whatever it is you aspire to.
Involve your entire body. Now that you have your head and heart covered, it’s time to turn yourself outward. Eat well, exercise, and get your body moving. You may not see the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle now, but it will catch up with you sooner or later.
The prospect of the New Year is always exciting. It’s a new beginning and the time to get started on the things we’ve always wanted to do. However, for most of us, it has become a discouraging practice because once the year ends, we see more of the things we didn’t do rather than the things we’ve accomplished.
