I greet The Indwelling Omnipotent Doer.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - A Case For Exercise – it improves quality of life; it adds to our life and adds life to our years. Physical activity boosts mental and emotional wellness, even my meditations and prayers flow better. Daily exercise can relieve tension, anxiety, depression and anger. Unattended anger can turn into a resentment; our number-one offender. I am in the habit of meditating in the morning and evening. I can tell the difference when I miss my meditation, even one day. On the really stressful days, I would meditate at noon. However, when I went back to work the negativity returned. I heard a physical therapist tell about the importance of exercise when we are having a stressful day. We pump the fight or flight stuff throughout our body; it only burns off with physical activity. It was suggested that we go for a walk before we sat down to meditate. When I took even a twenty-minute walk before my meditation, I was peaceful afterward, and the negative stuff was gone. What if we treat our body as if it were one we loved and respected? For sure, we want it to serve us well. Do unto others as we want them (our bodies) to do unto us. After all, our Father created our bodies and dwells in each of His creatures, how about loving His handy-work? Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
