If we think hard enough each of us can come up with excuses for not being as healthy as we should be.
Excuses are weak. They merely hamper our ability to overcome the obstacles before us. They point the finger to other people or circumstances and keep us from taking the vital steps to change our lives for the better. At times all of us can throw the pity party and play the excuse game. Last time I threw a pity party nobody showed up but me!
It’s time to make a decision once and for all to take care of our body. It deserves the best of our care all of the time, not just when we feel like it. It’s a good thing we don’t just show up to work when we feel like it, or pay bills when we feel like it.
How many times have you thought about skipping a workout because you were “too tired” to exercise, but when you have gone despite your fatigue, you have felt much more awake and energized afterward? Whether we feel like exercising or not, when we go ahead and do it we always reap the benefits.
It is a proven fact that people who exercise regularly have more energy, a sharper mind, as well as strength and endurance to get through their day. When your body is working at peak efficiency, your energy levels soar! So let’s get rid of those excuses and take care of our bodies like we should.
Next time you are tempted to go down the road of excuses just remember that they are for slackers. And that’s not you!
