Exercise

Exercise -working out - getting in shape - reducing stress - going for the burn - striving for endorphins - no pain, no gain. The question posed to me by my date - Where did we ever get the idea that torture by others isn't okay & self torture is? Torture is torture as he claimed. (& God, he sure is adament about his point of view as we spent more than half the time we are together debating on the said issue & he sure is not too happy with him losing his point & I not taking his advice) But here I explained. People who do too much don't have time for gradual changes. We want everything at once. Exercise is good for us. There's no doubt about it. Exercise that is pleasureable & soothes the soul is even better for us. Our bodies don't exist in isolation. The best exercise we can do is one that relaxes & feeds all parts of our being while helping to keep our bodies healthy.

All too often, we don't exercise because we haven't taken the time to find & experience long enough what really fits us. We approach exercise like we do so many other things - as something we have to do that's good for us, something we need to finish. No wonder so many people avoid it when they can.

So, my dear friends, the gateway towards a healthy mind, body & soul is not God given. More like a lifestyle of good living & definitely a good workout. Think again when making claims about me being a "gym freak". I am just playing it "safe".
