Welcome to April! I happen to be an April Fool, in that my birthday falls in this month. Naturally, what’s on my mind this month is gifts. (Books. Books are always a good gift.) What do gifts have to do with fitness? Well, I’m making a list of fitness gifts to give myself this month and maybe you’d like to do the same along with me. It’s a virtual party!
I’m not going to start small. The first gift I’m giving myself this month is love. As we all know, love is what love does. So I’m going to love myself with weights and cardio and, weather permitting, swimming. I’m going to love myself with vegetables and sunlight, walks, and sufficient sleep.
But let’s back up a minute. Love can also be expressed in words. I’m going to try to give myself the gift of nice words. I talk to myself in ways I would never talk to someone else. Other people make honest mistakes; I am a mumblety-mumble idiot, except I use other words where the mumblety-mumble is and they’re not nice ones. Love might be giving myself the same grace I give other people.
What would the gift of love be to you this month?
