Continuing our Habits During Hiatus | Marcia Horn | 6-5-2020

Today is another beautiful day to be outside but we know storms are coming. How we prepare and deal with these storms are rooted in our habits. We prepare ahead of time and use our past experiences to guide us in how we should or shouldn’t handle the situation. If we didn’t have our habits and knowledge, we may not be able to “weather” the storms as they say.

Plan ahead to have an exercise you can do indoors on the stormy days that will give you similar results to what you would be doing outside. If you walk or run, try doing some body weight exercises such as lunges or squats. One set (10) of each will burn 100 calories—the same as walking briskly for 1 mile (12 laps around our indoor track). You can also do leg raises and pushups. Plan ahead and prepare to not miss your habit of exercise!

“Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.” Luke 12:35

Today's message is about FOCUSING. Just this morning I had a hard time with focusing so I thought I would share what I learned from it. Applying this to all aspects of life is a good habit but especially when it comes to your health. Check out the video and also find out more information about the possible time frame of when we can reopen.

"Let your eyes look directly ahead
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you." Proverbs 4:25

See you soon!

Continuing our Habits During Hiatus | Marcia Horn | 5-22-2020

Transitions are usually a hard process to process. With the current situation of our state “opening” back up, this transition seems like it would not be hard to go through. We’ve been waiting on things to go back to “normal”. However, this should be a transition we take very mindfully.

This is similar to exercise. We don’t just have an exercise routine of workouts several times a week and several miles of walking or running a few days a week, take a break for several months and expect our bodies to go right back to that level of exercise on our first day back. We also don’t start all over either. Our bodies adjust to returning to exercise faster than if we had never done it before, it just doesn’t happen immediately. Don’t try to jump right back into the routine. Injuries are very common when your mind is convinced your body is ready. Gradually increase your activity over time so that your body can adjust to what your mind knows it can do.

Have a safe and blessed Memorial Day weekend!
