I'm sure that some of you reading this right now may have a few health issues, whether it be physically-a cold or stomach ache; mentally-Satan likes to get in our mind and tell us we aren't good enough, not wanted or needed; or maybe it's spiritually- have trouble sleeping at night, always anxious about everything, haven't laughed since...well...you don't know when?
All of these are symptoms of health issues. Health is much deeper than a physical need for excercise or working out, a healthy mind will keep you sane and help you to have wisdom when the time is needed. A healthy soul and spirit is more important than you probably realize. A healthy spirit will help you to actually live your life and not just go through the motions. The Romans may have killed Jesus, but they certainly couldn't take His life.
Many of us are holding on to grudges, with unforgiveness. You've got to learn to forgive people, not for them, but for YOU! While you're all mad at some person for doing you wrong, they are sleeping at night! They aren't losing ONE night of sleep while you may be lying awake at night worrying! Set yourself free and forgive them.
I have a few suggestions:
Ladies, there is a book out called Captivating. It is such an amazing book and will help you realize that it's okay to be a woman and to be emotional. If we weren't emotional then how would anyone know the tender and soft side of God. If you've been hurting and just don't feel worth much, give this book a try. As young girls we've dreamed of Prince Charming or The Knight in Shining armor. Someone to sweep you off your feet and send you flowers and hold your hand just strolling through life...Found Him yet? Just keep looking UP.
Another suggestion: I've found that excercise in the morning will help you have more energy throughout the day. I know, I know, when you think of excercise you think of getting all worn out from working so hard. Well, this is true, but, it's a good tired feeling and will help you throughout the day. The first day you try it, it may be a bit rough if you aren't use to getting up that early, but I suggest to just try it for at least a week. If you don't like it, you can surely go back to the way you were doing it before.
Last suggestion(..well, no promises) First day: Squat 4 sets of 20(4x20) So, do 20 squats 4 times.
Walkig Lunges: 4x20
Leg Extention: 4x20
Leg Curls: 4x20
If you don't go to the gym the try doing the first 2 without weights and then try Squat jumps 4x20 and
It's a start! Good luck and God bless!
