My WORKOUT QUESTION


Quiet Time Word by Carla-Rae 9-913

My Workout Question:

As I am preparing to do my Monday workout routine, complete with warm stretches, deep breathing, and focus, as I think through my upper body workout, this simple question has dropped itself into my focus. “Carla-Rae do you treat your soul/heart as well as you treat your body?” Now it has just plopped itself down into my thoughts. What am I going to do? Sometimes you can just brush thoughts aside until it is convenient to focus on them OR you can deal with them when they arrive. This one doesn’t seem like it is going anywhere, so, I will just go ahead and ask “IT” a question. “Can YOU elaborate?” Now it is on…
“Carla-Rae you take great care of your physical health, by eating properly and exercising to keep your body strong and maintained and it honors you with the ability to get up every day to start all over again. However, when was the last time you REALLY warmed up your heart? When was the last time you stretched yourself to say, that YOU are an amazing person? When was the last time you took a deep breath, looked into the mirror and did not see your flaws? You have conditioned yourself to speak honor and respect to everyone, lavishly, yet do you remember the last time you gave yourself the real HONOR and RESPECT you deserve from YOU?”

Well, my dear friends, along with my Monday upper body workout, I am going to be focusing on my SOUL /HEART muscle. I know that, with any workout, I will have to work up to full strength, however, I am thinking I will give this new workout some of my focus. Truthfully, I have a feeling that if I do, we will all benefit from it. Because I value YOU, I will show you how I value you more, by valuing me.

By the way, you are welcome to give this exercise a try, if you haven’t already. We can benefit even more by being workout buddies. Lets do this!

Peace and blessings for a wonderful day,
Carla-Rae
