I had this great thought the other day that I show my appreciation for my body by exercising it. Made perfect sense to me. Not everyone has a mobile body or limbs to do the things that I can. And it’s not a guilt or judgment thing; it’s an appreciation thing that I do.
Great reframe! I like it.
Great thought! I always take the stairs at work instead of the elevator for the same reason.
My mom always parks far away from the store so she can get some extra exercise in which is funny because she exercises all the time:) However, it’s the little changes like taking stairs and walking more that add up. I’ve been doing 20 minutes of yoga and 10 minute HIIT videos lately and I can see some changes taking place. The tracking has helped me be more mindful and therefore eat less. I did some meal planning Sunday and precooked some meat, broccoli and eggs so that we had lunch for today and some extra hardboiled eggs for salad or snack. I find that if I have healthier options to choose from, I’m less likely to want to eat out.
What a great way to look at it. I believe we are souls living in an earlthy body and that we really should take care of it. I am not always the best at it, but this perspective can really change that.
