Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. Genesis 1:26 & 31
Look at what God has made. It is good. You are good. He made you well. You carry His image. No mistake whatsoever. Learning to love what He has made … you … your body and learning to take care of it will revolutionise your world.
Simple things you could do:
1. Exercise as part of your lifestyle:
- Moderate exercise for 30 minutes, 4 times per week. Eg. house work, gardening, walking to the shops. Or
- Vigorous exercise for 20 minutes, 3 times per week.
2. Find out what effects your motivation:
- As soon as you get home change into your gym gear
- Combine activities: walk and pray, walk and talk, cycle and pod
- Vary your routine if you get bored easily
- Exercise with a friend or join a club
3. Energy input:
- Enjoy healthy eating (rather than dieting) – how about 5 fruit and veg each day
- Drink a minimum of 1.5–2L of water through the day
4. Get the right sleep:
- 6.5-7.5 hrs/night is best – less or more is not as good
- The before-midnight-hours will give you the best quality sleep
