Exercise is good for a healthy body. However, the body is not us as a whole but part of us. We have two other parts that play an important role. To keep it simple, I will refer to it as the mind and the self/gut. These too are in need of exercise.
Life is more and more taking on a dimension of the external, much of it is superficial but of course, a healthy body is real and it is good to take of your body. It is really that the other two dimensions of our three-dimensional person are neglected. Reading is pretty much confined to what we read on social media and that indeed is our stimulus. The mind is not active beyond the time we spend working for a peanuts. Even that thinking is minimised to the bare minimum in many cases. Then the self is so neglected that many people don’t know of its existence, e.g. you will ask someone “how do you feel on the inside” and the look you get is of someone who has been tricked into thinking they are living. These are the reasons, as an example, that employers can do with you what they want (and a side note – if you then belong to a workers union only to be told what to do, then you are still not your own person – it can be tricky, I know).
Before you look beyond yourself, before you look left or right, up or down, in front or behind you, you have to look at yourself in a 3 dimensional mirror and ask yourself “am I living or am I merely existing?”. This may be a tough question for some to understand before they can answer. Most will consider that they are living because they breath, work, eat and have fun. How many have tried out for a team, to get onto a team? It takes effort right? That is the question, at least the starting point, how much effort do you put into your life to be the best you can be. Are you looking glum and saying “what can I do?” Sure you can ask the question but it is how you ask the question, is it in a dejected manner or one seeking answers to move ahead.
Today can be the first day of your life if you start living – and living can only be when you are actually the 3-dimensional person. There is much more to this – but it’s best addressed to those who will read this, share this and make the necessary effort to use the fresh air beneficially.
