A very important insight I would like to share with you all today is one that I realised not so long ago…We are waterproof!
You may think I am crazy, however, really consider how profound this is and what it means for our lives including our health, our energy, our happiness and productivity.
We all know exercise is essential for our health and over and over we hear people and authorities bang on about the same old message: Move your body.
So why don't we?! Why do we still find every little, apparently legitimate, excuse to get to that 'tomorrow', 'next week', 'next month', 'next year'?
One apparently 'very' legitimate reason is "It's wet outside". That can range from a light drizzle, to torrential downpour, to (as I have discovered living in Queensland), "Is it EVER going to stop?!" (featuring knee-deep puddle!)
News flash guys: "We are water proof!"
Further to that, you will not shrink, melt or for that matter experience any ill effects from getting wet! Contrary to popular belief, we do not catch colds by being in the cold. We catch colds when we have poor immunity! Many things cause us to have immunity less resilient than we'd desire and one is lack of exercise!
So, as a client and I were delighting in just last evening, "Get out there!!" It's fun!
Get wet, get muddy, get dirty and even roll around in the puddles! Once you loosen up you will love it. Your soul will love it and you inner child will come out to play. Try it yourself, tell me how you go
