My body is my temple...

Appreciate # Our bodies our temples!

After working on our inner self now for the past few months together, I find it especially important to talk about the temple that carries us in this journey - our BODIES! We cant continue to work on our minds and not fuel the mind with goodness. I truly believe our bodies are our temple... after all we ARE what WE eat!s

The best way for us to keep fit and healthy is for us to watch what we eat and think. Our choices of thoughts and food are the major parts of either poor health or good health. People that are thinking negative or not in the right mindset, will often neglect their bodies as well, this could be through overeating, unhealthy eating/drinking, or the opposite by under nourishing or over exercising. Life has given us unlimited choices and it’s up to us to educate ourselves on what really works for us.

We’re all unique individuals and have our own special needs. So be aware of how your choice of thoughts makes you feel. When you choose angry or bitter thoughts, do you “feel” good? Wouldn’t you feel healthier and better if you chose a thought like, “All is well in my life, I am positive, My life is great".

It’s the same with foods. Do you choose foods with the pretty picture on the package, or because they are "cheap" and then feel tired and irritable a little while after you’ve eaten it? Or do you choose natural foods that build up your energy and create healthy new cells?

For the next week, be aware of your choices of thoughts and foods. You can create good health one food at a time, and one thought at a time!

Hot tip - My new favourite food is quinoa (pronounced keen-wah). It originates from the Peruvian mountains and its name means the “mother grain” or “mother of all grains.” I especially enjoy quinoa flakes. They take only three minutes to cook. They’re wonderful for breakfast. Just add your favorite berries or fresh fruit! I love yoghurts with my quinoa. 

To the Inca people, quinoa was considered their most sacred food. Considered a “food of the gods,” quinoa was also regarded as more valuable than gold. In fact, during planting time, only the Inca Emperor was allowed to sow the first seeds—and did so with tools made of gold. Today, quinoa is becoming one of the most popular superfoods. It’s a great source of protein and it’s delicious.

Affirmation - I am healthy, I am fit, I am strong
