*Picture courtesy of Vitorio Santosa*About two weeks ago (and about once a year) the church I am a member of asked all members to make a financial sacrifice. This means giving up something I enjoy, like shopping, to save for a financial sacrifice for God. After discussing this with one of my most colorful male friends, he told me that he
"sacrifices an hour of sleep everyday to work out"HOW PROFOUND, I thought (especially considering he is so ignorant-lol)!!
It made me think of all the times I've told myself that I don't have enough time. What kind of statement is that? It's almost a fragmented sentence... don't you think?? SIDE NOTE: So if it is not really fragmented, I missed that day in English class, so.... Anywho- it's fragmented and should read "I don't have the time because exercising or being more conscious of my health just isn't at the top of my priorities. I'm SO guilty of this - day to day, month to month, I always utilize the..."I don't have time" excuse.
So, here's a tip from one of my good and healthy friends...try easing it in - 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there, 8 minutes at another time. It took me approximately 5,040 minutes to push stubbornness aside and follow his little tid bit of advice, but eventually, I tried it out. Remember, just like other things in our lives, CONSISTENCY is KEY, make the sacrifice for yourself.
