Motivation to stay fit.

My pastor Tom Hugill of the Family Worship Center, Bealeton, Virginia, delivered an awesome message of committing to “live” the Christian life not only a quick convenient decision  to follow in “fair season”.  I agree and learned how this carries over to many areas of live.

In the fitness area deciding to get in shape and committing to get in shape follows the same principle. The initial motivation to get in shape may be to wear a particular dress or a swimsuit at the beach. But the commitment to get in shape is necessary. The no turning back commitment, hints lifestyle.

I suggest to examine your initial “why”. Finding your initial why will help you make the commitment instead of the quick decision to do it.

Your Why is your motivation.

Motivation is a like a Nitrous oxide boost to an engine, it would provide a tremendous burst of energy to get you started but it is not long sustaining. Eventually the gas burns itself out leaving you with only the regular fuel in the tank.

Committing and continuing to go in the direction that you know will work will benefit your health with many unseen blessings.

Family is tremendous blessing that comes from being in shape, but NOT only being in shape, but allowing The Holy Spirit show you where the Strongholds are in your life. Whether it’s food, alcohol, drugs or what have you.  The point is the few Strongholds we have the more abundant life we will enjoy.

Thank God for His wonderful mercy!
