Fit is a state of mind

Exercise, mobility, activity. All words you hear from the imfomocicals on tv. The elderly people who can walk again, or swim again....all because of a miracle vitamin or drug. Truthfully, our healing has to start with our will to want to get better. The choice to start each day with positivity is essential. Thanking God for the chance to prove to the world that we can overcome this disease, even while waiting for a cure is humbling. There are days when that joy or positivity is so hard to find. When putting one foot in front of the other is such a chore. But in those days, we still have breath. And breath is life. And breath can help us center ourselves to focus on one task at a time. One thing that I find helpful is yoga or even simple stretches in bed, in a chair, or on the couch. We don't have to run a marathon to stay fit. Fit is a state of mind...doing enough activity to help keep our joints limber can go a long way in our healing process. Be gentle with yourself. Only you know your limits.
