Making Time

In the beginning time spent on exercise made me feel very guilty. There were so many other things that could be using that time. Today while racking up my steps on the track the thoughts of how nice it was to just move and clear my head, joyfully chimed in. It was nice to not have the you should be ... fill in the blank... thoughts buzzing. There were plenty that could have started up. Finally the mind set has come around that this is just as important as all the other time usages. Besides the weight loss and the health benefits the exercise really helps with outlook and energy. While focusing on form and posture all the other mind fillers take a pleasant vacation. They will pop back during the day but for that span of time it's the music on the ipod and the body talking. Now on those few days exercise does not get on the schedule I feel very out of sorts. Think I like it this way better.
