Okay, I am now over two months into this blog on 'broken' but yet I haven't tackled the big one, "weight loss." Even though I know there are still other areas of my life the Lord has yet to have me deal with the most pressing one that causes me the most stress is getting my body in line with my spirit. For most people it is called going on a diet. I choose to call it alignment of my flesh with my spirit. Getting to a healthy weight and maintaining it. The goal now before me is arriving at an appropraite body mass.
Adding a regular exercise program is very important too. I find, like most women, that I choose to think of my own needs last. The challenge will be to think of myself first so that I can be in a position to be helpful to others.
I heard someone say it came home to them when they thought through the instructions from the aircraft attendants reviewing the oxygen masks. ".....put the mask on yourself first and then assist those around you."
How about you? Are you busy with everything else other than taking care of yourself? When was the last time you did something for yourself. And can you do it without feeling guilty?
Lord I ask for your help in my life and that of my readers. Many of us struggle with putting our needs first. We are so busy that the last thing that gets done is something for ourselves. Help us to be balanced and to get healthy. Then we can nuture, love and genuinely care for oursleves. Amen
So the trekking across the mountain path is taking on a new dimension as I watch over my body and what changes I need to make. Not saying it is going to be easy, no not at all, but worth it, YES! So join me. Get up in the morning and say, "today is the day I start the me adventure." Spoil yourself and in turn you will find, like I bet I do, that we are much more able to help others.
