Decalogue to stay in shape without stopping eating
1.- Every day, when the alarm goes off, take a deep breath, smile with enthusiasm and give yourself a round of applause.
You are a privileged person. Are you alive. Time is given to you for nothing. You have before you the possibility of being happy. Time is not a sentence, it is the possibility of love, of joy, of happiness. Don’t make it a barren fallow. Generally it is a question that only depends on you. Give you a chance.
2.- Look in the mirror and laugh a little at yourself.
You will see that you have a disheveled heart, rheumy illusion and generosity in full yawn. Give yourself a good shower of optimism and you will see how good you feel. There are many who only shower outside, and, of course, they smell. He best secret against old age is to apply some cream that keeps your ideals smooth. I offer you a brand: utopia.
3.- Connect your mobile phone and call.
God listens to you. You will always have coverage. Pray slowly savoring your feelings. How the heart swells when one discovers oneself loved by God! You will jump for joy like a fawn! You will have a “Danone” body ready to devour the day and you will spread joy even to those who do not ask for it. Remember: in the morning and at the end of the day you have a reduced rate. Take advantage and call.
4.- Keep the line of your freedom.
Control the dose of football, noise, TV and alcohol. Otherwise you will lose ingenuity at the first corner. You’ll go from fan to fan, before you know it. If you are tempted, buy a book, it is the closest thing to being free. Take care and remember the verse of the poet “Once upon a man glued to a television…”.
5.- Always smile, smile.
The smile is your most beautiful wrinkle and it keeps you young. Every time you smile you open a thousand closed doors and you name the people who pass by. No money can buy an authentic smile, and yet it springs spontaneously when it’s free. Be you like this, like a smile, because you don’t have a price either.
6.- Do exercises daily.
Practice forgiveness, tolerance, respect, sensitivity, affection… and you will have a “strong” spirit. And so, every night, in this competition they call life, you will win the most precious trophy: inner peace and the joy of finding the meaning of living under your pillow. Don’t worry, there are trophies for everyone. More tomorrow.
7.-Open your agenda and write down: reserved for me.
Take a good look, you have everything busy: work, friends, television, classes, going out, going in, cultural visits… And you? Aren’t you important to spend a little while? Yeah man. Cancel some commitment and sit down with you. Talk to yourself looking into your eyes. You have to tell yourself many things. It’s been a long time since you really saw each other. You are your best friend. Trust yourself and tell yourself all your worries. You will leave relieved. Friends are for that.
8.- Practice the saying: ‘He who deals gets the best part’.
It doesn’t fail. A hand open to others can be a caress, comfort, greeting, help… A closed hand is always a threat, a punch, distance, mistrust… etc. Whoever shares her life always has a blank check for love. Do it and you will see how your balance goes up every day. Those who live for their checking account are just that: current.
9.- Consume products without barcodes.
They do not comply with current regulations, it is true, but they are the usual ones and they carry a guarantee. In addition to being natural, they do not have an expiration date and are one hundred percent organic: justice, solidarity, tolerance, human rights, freedom. That is to say, civilization of love. They have the advantage that we can grow them in our own home and they don’t pay taxes. It’s about living a healthy life.
10.- Get life insurance.
Whoever wants to win his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will win it forever” (Lk 9:24).
At first it will be a bit expensive because it will require a high investment, but then you will reap abundant benefits. There are other cheaper insurances, but they are no longer so safe. Your policy is called Gospel. Does not allow discounts. If you sign up, you risk your life. Sure.
