This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I have been trying to be more consistent in getting some physical exercise every day. I love that quote that says that I am in the fitness protection program because I’ve been hiding from exercise. But today was the second day that I got up and walked two miles.

Yesterday after my walk, I remember thinking to myself, “I feel so good! That is the best way to start a morning. Why don’t I do that every day?” And now that I think of it, I had great energy levels yesterday, and I was in a pretty good mood all day. Why do we make so many excuses not to exercise when there are so many benefits to exercise? No one ever works out and then says, “Man, I really regret that work out.”

Are you going through a storm? I want to encourage you to make the time for physical exercise. I know that it is the last thing you want to do when you are going through a difficult situation. But if you will make yourself do it, especially something that gets your heart pumping, you will feel so much better emotionally. It is a great way to release the anger and frustration. I remember that time of intense sadness in my life. I would go outside and walk/jog and the tears would stream down my eyes. I would breathe in the fresh air and just keep walking. Exercise is wonderful for us, especially when we are going through the emotional rollercoaster.

This morning I really didn’t want to walk. But I made myself get up, get dressed, and get outside. I just started walking. I thought to myself, if I will just put one foot in front of the other, I will have two miles behind me in no time. If you are going through a difficult time, I want to encourage you to just put one foot in front of the other. Before you know it, you will look back and realize that you have made tremendous progress.

Have a blessed day, everyone. I encourage you to make some time for physical activity.
