Fitness Brings Happiness as the exercisers perspective begins to change. There is a transformation both physically and spiritually that occurs as a person begins to value health. We begin to gain a connection to our bodies and through that appreciate what Nature has created for us both as a being and the support that exists on earth for our thriving.
Getting healthy is aligning our behavior with what Nature intended for us from the beginning; before big cities. We start eating what Nature provides as real food. We start to appreciate that we can feel better eating healthier. We start to exercise our bodies just as every other creature on earth. We realize that exercise makes us feel better.
The Growth of Gratitude with Our Increasing Health
My past experience with this transformation was in the process of losing 50 pounds over a four year period to get back to my high school weight of 175 pounds. In the process, I started eliminating addictions, like ice cream, and eating more natural foods like kale (I know, yuck) I started losing weight and feeling better.
I was already an exerciser so the two were blending nicely. Losing weight and getting more fit as I got more lean. In this process, I did become aware that everything we need is provided on earth, by Nature. We have gone astray in our daily diets. Many have let exercise go by the way side or never engaged.
As I began to feel better, I thought others should know how to do it. I was posting and developed a following of 25,000 visitors a month. Evidently, others were also interested. I began to seek ways to make a bigger contribution. I wanted my work also to feel like a contribution. I felt we are all here to make everyone else better. Consumers are demanding that of companies these days. They want them treating personnel kindly, helping the environment, and helping the community.
We are like ants. We work to make everything better. As we feel better getting healthier, we start to have more compassion for others. We begin to see the oneness of the whole. We start to see our place in the matrix. After retiring from real estate, I began to teach surf lessons. There was a reward in making people happy that was greater than the money. There is philanthropic capitalism which is companies engaged in doing business while helping a particular aspect of life or people.
Tom’s Shoes is just one example of a company founded to make shoes and give a pair for every pair sold to children in Argentina so they could attend school. Charity Water is devoted to bringing fresh water to poor communities where water is not available. We start to appreciate what we can do when we feel gratitude for what we are. We start to see outside of ourselves as being one with inside ourselves.
Fitness and health are a self centered endeavor that makes us altruistic and appreciative of the whole. This is happiness.
