116/365 The Temple Technique

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

You've heard it before now hear it again: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?[...] glorify God in your body. (1 Cor 6:19-20)"

Whether you are religious like not, you can recognize this truthful phrase. Your body is a temple where your spirit, soul, intellect, and mind reside. Without your body, you have no vehicle through which you can express yourself. You have got to respect your body for it is the only one you have.

Here are ways that I believe you ought to respect your body, a temple:
1. Eat foods that will make you wealthy in nutritional value. Do not be greedy and consume in excess.

2. Drink alcohol with the intention of enjoying its effects in good company. Do not drink to get drunk.

3. Sleep; give your body rest so you begin the next day refreshed.

4. Utilize all the muscles in your body. A temple must be fortified to withstand the most destructive winds, storms, etc. that attempt to ravage it. Strengthen your body with frequent exercise.

5. Enjoy everything in moderation.

6. Laugh every day. Life is much too short not to have fun with it.

This list could go on but, I'll stop myself here. Just wait for when The Temple Technique © is a legitimate program made by yours truly.

All the posts I have written before and beyond have this temple idea in mind. Your body deserves respect in everything you do. You are a person of dignity are you not? Treat your body with the same respect and care that you give to yourself. Likewise, treat your soul with the same attention you give your body.

In health,

Lauren
