Thursday Thoughts Ed. 34 - Body Work
When your body "talks" do you really listen? Do you understand what it's saying?I believe one of the most important parts of being and staying healthy is the ability to listen to your body - to possess "body wisdom." A deep awareness of your body, it's capabilities and it's limitations can help you achieve and maintain extraordinary health. People who are fluent in their body's language are better able to recognize when they need to rest and when they need to take a nice long run. Our bodies are unique and complex and all react differently to things from stresses and situations to exercises and foods.
A key to good health and vibrancy is to be keenly aware of how certain foods make you feel - do they energize you or do they weigh you down? I know, for example, that starting the day with a protein loaded egg sandwich keeps me running while a bowl of more carb-rich oatmeal leaves me wanting. What foods make you feel great?
Think about it this week and try to eat more of them, more often.
Deep body awareness is also critical when trying to maintain and improve physical fitness. There is more to just knowing how good it feels to move and once you get that first dose of dopamine this is easier to understand. People who obtain a high level of fitness and health make their nutrition and exercise plans work for them. They take note of how their bodies respond - it feels good to stretch, energizing to run and fun to take dance classes. They pay close attention to works and what doesn't and as time goes on what needs to change. If results seem to be slowing or have stopped then they re-evaluate and revamp their routines and techniques.
The language of your body isn't hard to learn - you just have to know how to listen.
