Day 4 of the Mindful Living Blog Challenge is about the
body.
The older I get the more I am aware that my
overall health and wellbeing is largely in my own hands. Two years ago my doctor told me that even
though I was not very overweight, I was heavier than I should be. That, combined with high blood sugar levels
on an ongoing basis prompted me to make further lifestyle changes.
Those changes have made such an incredible difference to
me. Not only am I now consistently
within the BMI definition of normal weight range for me, but I am strong and
fit with far fewer aches and pains than I once had. I would say at 55 I am in the best shape of
my life.
My body would say thank you for saving me!
What I have discovered is that I enjoy the process of being
good to my body. I love cooking foods
from scratch, and growing them myself if I can.
I love to share recipes and ideas with other people.
My daily swims are quite meditative in themselves. The rhythm of the strokes and the breath, and
having my face in the water and the goggles on, make this a 30 minute part of
the day when I am very focused on my body and my mind is free from everything
except what is happening right now.
