When fitness & spirituality collide.........

WRITTEN BY AMBER JONES, THE FIT TEACH

Ever wondered what your fitness and spiritual life have in common? Well, to journey as a human being means you live within a physical capsule called your body. It is a shared identity we all have in common regardless of our religion or spirituality. Although most of us are not excited about exercise, going to the gym or working out we still need to address the needs and concerns of our physical bodies. As humans we have a responsibility to take care of our outer shell and learn how health can be a state of mind - as well as our physical state.
Hopefully on our journey through life we get a chance to have fulfilling experiences to better understand our purpose, in both physical and spiritual aspects. We have ultimate freedom to be spiritual creators and design our lives. The actions we take effect our bodies and the decisions we make effect our emotions. The foods we eat effect how efficiently we can do activities. And our muscles and strength effect how well we function and perform movements.
 Love, peace, and gratitude unlock our spiritual gifts. Cardiovascular health, resistance training and proper nutrition unlock our physical gifts. On many levels we have control over the outcomes we get in our life.  We hold the power to make change at any moment in time, all we have to do is decide. Making a decision is powerful. Physical health allows spirituality to be flow through us.
Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you immensely  - even for small changes you make in your daily habits. It is instinctual for our bodies to move so they are strong and reliable. What percentage of your day includes keeping your body fit by moving,exercising or eating properly?

You don't have to be conscious of fitness every second of the day  - just strive to do a little better than you're doing right now, this year, this month or this week.

Everyone has a spiritual entity so marvelous it makes us capable of accomplishing things far beyond our beliefs. Once we learn how to exercise spiritual existence as well as physical health  we are approaching our fuller potential.
Tips: Try exercising to a favorite piece of music, just after a morning prayer or meditation. You will see a big difference.
