Let me continue this series of posts on finding your outlets with the acronym E.P.I.C. Yesterday I dissected the letter E for emotional outlets. Today, let's look at the letter P.
P-stands for physical outlets. If you don't have some sort of physical outlet in your life you are cheating yourself and your body. I workout Monday thru Friday with Saturday being a light workout. I don't apologize for it and neither should you. Whether you go to a gym like I do or have a stationary bike or treadmill at home, you need to exert yourself physically for your own mental, emotional, and physical well being.
Maybe for you its walking around your block or going to a nearby school to use their track. Or perhaps you enjoy playing tennis or golfing. The important thing is to find something you enjoy, plan it in your schedule, and decide in advance to do it. I would explode internally if I did not workout daily. It gives me time to think, allows me to stay in shape which results in a positive self-image, and relives stress. It will do the same for you.
Get your spouse or a friend involved. Accountability will motivate you to stay the course when you don't feel like it. Many people's sense of well-being would be greatly improved if they just took 30-45 minutes a day and exercised. Today is a great day to begin. Here's to your health.
Expecting Great Things,
Bryan
