Nutrition, Exercise and Rest
Dear Reader,
One thing that I think that is important in enjoying a quality, happy, healthy, prosperous life is the three triads of nutrition, exercise and rest. This is also important in energy management. We are only as good as what we put into both our minds and bodies.
In life our education comes from a variety of sources. A couple of these come from our experiences, and the lessons we learn from them and the second one is what we study at school, university and other institutions. In thinking about this a lot of people put into their minds material from what we experience and study, so it is only logical that we also consider what we put into our bodies in what we eat and drink. For me what we put into both our minds and bodies should be of the highest quality, so that we can be the best we can be and work at our best. Looking after our bodies and taking careful consideration of what we put into us in my opinion very important. This is something that is often overlooked. If we feed our minds and bodies with the right material, we will find that energy management is easier to achieve and we do not have to put unnecessary drains on our bodies and minds.
In saying this we go onto the next in the triad of three, which is exercise. In order to function properly we need a certain amount of exercise. We do not have to put strains and pressures on our bodies and minds in order to exercise. We can work to our own pace and what we enjoy doing. I find creative endeavors work are wonderful in exercising both the mind, body and spirit. Spiritual “exercises “are equally important also. I find that the best exercises for me is gentle exercises such as, reading, creativity, such as art, walking, swimming, yoga and gentle martial arts such as Tai Chi. Do something we will enjoy and get pleasure out of doing. Exercise enables us to keep the body in shape by working the muscles, bones and other parts of the body. Exercising the mind by various methods keep the mind active. Exercising the mind and body releases various hormones and chemicals into the body that maybe of benefit.
As we travel along to the next triad in our journey. That is the one of resting. Resting comes in many forms. These are sleeping, silent reflection, meditation, resting the body after exercise, sitting, lying down, having a bath and so forth. Resting enables us to "regenerate" and give the mind and body time to rest/recuperate. With exercise, we are providing an active stimulus to our minds and bodies. In resting with are providing a passive stimulus to our bodies and mind, A balance in a way. In our intake of energy, we need a balance, so that we do not get too much and not enough. What we need to consider in addition to where we get our energy from is Nutrition, Exercise and Rest. Looking at these three will enable you to better manage your energy intake and output. If we look at ourselves in addition to the sources and methods of getting energy, things can be less stressful and draining on our energy reserves and resources.
Russell.
