You only have one you. So take care of yourself!

Take time to take care of yourself and your body. You only have one body, one mind, and one spirit/soul while you are living. It's important that we all take the time to nourish our spirit and our body properly. This is significant because everything that you do to and with your body can either damage it or benefit it. Our body is our temple. It's just like your home; many people say your home is an outward reflection of you, right? So just like you are what you eat, your body is a direct reflection of all the things you have consumed either spiritually or naturally. So it is important that you take time to take care of the only vessel that you have to live in and house your spiritual being. I had to learn this lesson the hard way and now I understand the significance of eating and consuming healthy foods and beverages. I discovered when I eat healthy foods like lean meats, fish, fruits, and veggies and limit my consumption of foods that contain "empty carbs" or a lot of sugar, I feel better. Not only do I feel better, but my body responds better. I have more energy. When I exercise I feel happier and more content. Sure during the process of exercising I feel a little fatigued and worn out from working my body hard, LOL. But at the end of the workout I feel refreshed and happy. It's like all of the little endorphins rush out and I feel 100% fantastic. So taking the time to be good to you can be rewarding. You will feel better, respond better, and have a better attitude about yourself and others. Trust me I know! I'm speaking from experience. So start with little steps like drinking more water and incorporating more fruits and veggies in your diet. Then begin walking a minimum of 30 min. per day for 6-7 days a week or 1hr per day for 3-4 days a week. You will see a change in your body and your overall appearance, self esteem, and attitude. Be blessed!
