When we are growing up, we would run from point A to point B
as much as we were allowed, not to get fit or to stay in shape, but simply for
the pure joy of running. It was our only sense of freedom. We didn't know how
to ride a bike or maybe didn't have a bike. But we had 2 legs, and these 2 legs
could make us go as fast as we could go. The rush of feeling the wind whirling
past your ears, as we ran down the hill, the feeling we would get from the
adrenalin rush and the feeling of our hearts pounding from our chest, would
send chills throught our bodies. We had no clue what was happening to our bodies,
what the effects would be, yet it was the one thing that we could do to make us
feel alive. So now looking back at this time in our lives, do you think we can
feel that same pure joy? Of course we can! As adults we get so caught up in
controlling our lives, so much, that we miss even the most important things,
ourselves. When was the last time you
did something not because you had too but because you can, whether is riding a
bike, playing basketball or seeing your closet friend show you something they
think is their amazing ability. The feelings that we get from doing these types
of things, is the same feelings and emotions your body experiences through
exercise. We often think exercise is a task oriented activity, but if you stick
to what makes you feel the best, you will be amazed at what you can achieve. Instead
of trying to meet ‘the government exercise guidelines’ try to just go out
there, simply to experience and explore. If you keep active regularly doing
these things that make you feel good, you will feel more vibrant, have less
stress and find yourself wanting to do more. When we do these kinds of
activities when exercising regularly, you too will start to notice this
incredible feeling of chills going throughout your body, these chills will distinctly
remind you of when you were a child, just playing about, this connection that
your body has with its past experiences will make you feel alive again. So go
out there experience and explore, be active, become you and be vibrant. Thursday 7 June 2012
