From: Archangel Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue
On the card: “Archangel Raphael: ‘Eat a healthful diet,
get adequate sleep, and exercise regularly for optimal health.’”
What a great card for me to pull today. I needed a little nudge to get back on
track. What about you? Are you eating healthily, getting adequate
sleep and exercising (if you’re able to)?
I say ‘if you’re able to’ because sometimes health issues preclude us
from regular exercise. I went through a
period where I had to limit my walking/activity (including housework) to 15
minutes a day. I was building up my
tolerance to exercise, and I’m glad to say it worked. By taking that time of ‘no exercise’, and
gradually adding a tiny bit of activity, I have successfully adapted so that I
can now walk vigorously for an hour a day with little to no negative
effects.
I’m also going on vacation soon, so I’m going to have to
concentrate on healthful eating. The
food is going to be tempting, but I’ll have to be strong. And I will be strong.
In the winter, a lot of our good habits and intentions go
out the window. What can you do today to
help you get back to a healthy lifestyle?
How is your sleeping?
Are you getting adequate rest? I’ve
recently discovered that ‘REST is BEST’.
When we have our bodies and minds in a constant high state of energy and
activity, like so many of us in today’s busy world, our body goes into
overdrive and puts off repair and restoration.
We have to purposefully take time to rest so that our body can come down
from the heightened state and resume normal body and mind maintenance. If we keep putting off rest, our bodies and
minds will just keep going and eventually have some kind of ‘burn-out’. Whether that ‘burn-out’ is a physical event
like a cold or flu, or a mental event like depression, we can ward off most
negative events if we take adequate breaks and rest well. It is especially important in today’s busy
world.
Today, remember: REST is BEST.
Love,
Val ♥
