The Gift Of Life

You have been given the gift of life. For what purpose are you living your life. There is no appreciation for what you have been given, so you do not give care to what has been gifted. Your body is a vessel in which you will help others as well as yourself. Why would you not care for it, so that it may serve you better. If not taken care of, it will cause you much discomfort. There are so many ways that you can care for yourself, but you deny yourself that luxury. It is not weak to nourish your body or give it strength. You avoid caring for yourself, for your indulgences. It would be wise to listen to what your body needs and provide it. There will come a time when your body will be silent and there is nothing more for you to do. Do not wait too long, before it no longer can serve you to the purpose you were given to be here. Today, listen to what your body is telling you. If it is rest you need then take it upon yourself to relax. If it is exercise or better nourishment, then do so. If you listen well, your body will tell exactly what it needs for you to do. Be wise and your body will serve you well.

Taking a moment to breath...

(Sometimes when I find myself too busy to make something healthy, I grab whatever is convenient to eat. I regret it later but that's my first instinct. It's the same thing when I can't fit in my schedule to run. There is a fine line between an excuse and finding a balance in life.)
